Winter preparedness

If you were watching last weekend's news, you know a storm hit the northeast hard . . . rather unexpectedly I might add.


Along with winter comes the inevitable cold and flu season. Although, we'd rather ignore that fact and focus on the holidays, it does not hurt to be prepared.

This is a good time of year to go through your pantry, check your juice, gingerale, and soup inventory, then stock up during seasonal sales.

Check your medicine cabinet and dates on cough syrup, cold and fever tablets, etc.

Make a list and re-stock your supplies. Don't forget tissues.

Nobody wants to go out when the weather is icy, cold and miserable when they too are feeling icy, cold and miserable.

And just in case you're feeling blue, have a good book or 2 on hand to keep you company.

After all, it's better to stay home snuggled in a warm quilt and get well. That's the most important thing.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
