Thyroids and flurries

Zoe was released from her prison on Friday and came back home. Generally she seems OK, but is a little subdued compared to her usual self. This could be a natural result of the thyroid function reduction plus the stress she has endured. We will learn more about her situation over coming weeks.
On Saturday, Dec. 4 the Town of Rhinebeck, NY had it annual "Sinterklaus" parade and celebration. For a small town this drew quite a large crowd of onlookers who generally enjoyed to show. The parade was led by "Santa Claus" riding on a horse and followed by many puppets and people in costume. It was a fun thing to see for the half hour or so, but it was pretty cold out there too! Rhinebeck was settled by people from northern Europe in what is now Germany or The Netherlands and this celebration is supposed to resemble those from northern Europe.
Tonight (the 5th) we have had a slight accumulation of snow flurries- the first accumulation of the season though it is slight.

Who would have thought that KY would be ahead of you in snow amounts! Down here in the hollers of Eastern Kentucky we got about 2 inches over the course of Sat.-Mon. (4-6).
