Walking in a Winter Wonderland

December 15, 2010

We’ve had a pretty unusual amount of snow this December here in the Oberpfalz, and while I was grumbling about the chaotic roads and difficulty getting about, a friend on Facebook reminded me that I am living in a wonderland and she would trade places with me in a second.  I guess she’s right, and [...]
