Southern Oregon had an unusual way of welcoming the new year; with snow and temperatures in the teens.  Many of us were  house-bound for a few days.  The good thing about all of this, the drivers have become courteous, and cautious.  Nice for a change.  As I write this the sky has darkened; it is beginning to rain/snow again.

Classes at SOU/OLLI were canceled the first part of last week so my first class on the Great White Fleet will begin this Tuesday, January 10th.

I am looking forward to the new year with book signings, book fairs, readings and another book on the way.  Let’s have nothing but good thoughts for 2017.
