For myself, I am trying to do as little chopping prep as possible. I had a misunderstanding with a cat Thursday evening. He feared I was grabbing him to put him out. In fact, I was gently petting his back. But just to make it really, really clear that he had no intention of facing the "wintry mix", he reached around and bit the heck out of my hand. This, of course, happening just as all the world was coming out of the sky. In Thayer we got 1/4" of freezing rain, topped by 1" of sleet, then 14" of snow. We were not going anywhere! Front and center in my memory was the fact that Kelley from Wal-Mart DIED from a cat bite a few months ago. So we did the usual field dressings after soaking in soapy water, kept it elevated and exposed. When we finally arrived at the OMC ER on Saturday morning, my hand was hurting pretty badly. But they got me fixed up with antibiotics, a tetanus shot and a pain pill or two, and now it is healing nicely. The swelling has greatly decreased and I can nearly chop. Hopefully, it'll be mostly mended by the time we get to the 2 caters this weekend.
The Stroll on the Square last weekend got cancelled as well as our music. This week the Christmas tree lighting has been re-scheduled to Thursday with fewer choirs. Michael McClure, local painter extraordinaire, has a lovely display of his work in our "Gallery." We thank you for supporting local artists and helping to keep the money in the local economy.
Music THIS week will come in the form of Marideth Sisco and Dennis Crider of Blackberry Winter fame. They usually draw a nice crowd and we always look forward to their playing. They have been in the studio recently and we may have new tunes to hear. Don't miss this lovely opportunity; reservations recommended. Music will start about 6:15.
