We  celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday-Friday- because my married 
daughters  spent time on Thursday with their husbands' families.  But 
we get the  better end of the deal because our kids come to the lake 
Thursday evening  and stay for the weekend.  Yesterday morning as we 
began preparations  for an afternoon feast it began to snow.  Huge 
flakes fell down and  collected on the ground.  It did not melt 
because the temperature  never got above freezing.  Snow collected on 
the skim of ice covering  parts of the lake making pure white islands 
floating in the black  water.  The clouds lifted this morning turning 
the color of the water  to an amazing blue.  I took a walk to the 
other end of the  lake.  It was brisk but I was comfortable with a 
vest instead of a  jacket.  At the far end of the lake (about 1.5 
miles) there is a  bridge from which I could see three otters 
frolicking in the water  sometimes crashing up through the thin ice. 
They were having a blast  putting on a show for anyone that would 
watch.  Tomorrow I will  report to Gunstock Mountain to meet with the 
staff preparing for opening  day, Dec. 5th.  I will have to miss 
opening day skiing because of a  temporary job ( 4 days) that starts 
on Dec 4th.  However, you can bet  that I will be on the summit of 
Gunstock Mountain on Dec 6th peering  northward for a glimpse of Mount 
Washington wearing its Winter  covering.  Enjoy the rest of the 
weekend friends.
