White Christmas

remember the Christmas song "I 'm dreaming of a White Christmas"?


written by Iriving Berlin?


well, last night I had a tutoring job up in Lew Beach, a VERY rural area of my old school district, home to many "rich and famous"


as I left the house , it was snowing! carefully I wended my way down their snowy, narrow, steep,winding driveway out to the road,  a dark ,snowy, winding country road..I turned on the radio ..the first station that would come in? ALL CHRISTMAS SONGS


and the one playing ? "White Christmas" Guess where Irving Berlin used to live? Lew Beach!!! It was uncanny!!

well, by the time I got to town, there was no snow


they are a higher elevation


it was 14 degrees here this morning


I think that station had just decided to do all Xmas songs from now to Xmas


and dgd,4, had me singing Xmas songs last week on our way back from NYC Radio city Xmas show!!

Well I hope that the ride home was not too bad and the roads were not icy!


I am hoping that we dont really get much snow this year... it is welcome to snow on Christmas day but

HI Dutch


What a perfect setting for you to hear that song. I love it is one of my favorites. However we have a favorite radio station here that started playing Christmas music right after Halloween. Too soon for me and had no been listening to it since they started it. Thank heavens for cd players. LOL


Love ya

I was VERY careful..the roads were snowy and winding


2 people had already had accidents up there this week: the boss's wife and another employee


but by the time I got to town: nothing


it was just the higher elevations


very cold today


our lake already looks frozen and snow covered!


hope you are safe and sound


hugs
