I hung the Christmas lights out on the bushes. (Waiting for it to get really cold just didn't seem like a good idea. Anyone who says that I have done this too soon can feel free to put into writing they would put them up for me in the blowing snow at the end of the month.)

Did you see the eclipse last Saturday night? It was really very interesting. This picture was taken in Florida and e-mailed to me.

Monroe County's Seneca Park Zoo has announced that six African penguins will be moving to various American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) accredited zoos to start their own families.

Heluva Good has introduced a new Buffalo Wing Dip! It's time to say so long to our Limited Edition Southern-Style Sweet Onion Dip. The Buffalo Wing Dip is the newest limited-edition flavor. It has the flavor of medium-hot Buffalo wings dipped in bleu cheese.

If you are thinking about sending someone special New York apples (and people from out of state really do miss our Wayne County Apples), the Apple Shed has Apple Gift Packs. During October, November and December, they ship apples anywhere in the continental United States (except AZ and CA). Prices range from $19 to $52, which includes shipping.

I know people who ski or snowmobile love to see the snow come... if we could just keep it off the roads.

If you have an event you'd like to share, please send the info along to me and I'll be sure to add it to the column. mgoodcooke@yahoo.com

Have a great week and stay warm..
