Journaling reads: We woke up to about 1/2” of snow and low 20’s today! Then the sun came out and even though it never got very warm, the snow melted quickly in all of the areas that were not in the shadows. 12/3/24

Lyrics: 1. Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire...
