Greetings, Shawnee! The cold weather delayed its arrival by a few days, but then it hit us with a flurry! Brrrrrrr! That Oklahoma wind chill is something else! Be sure to check your pipes and keep your pets indoors. Like the Christmas song goes, “It doesn’t show signs of stopping!”

Be watching for a new Walking Log Challenge we will be launching soon!
