Winter has finally arrived! It was much warmer than normal the last couple of months, but now the winter wind is blowing through the windows. Is it a normal winter where you live, or are you warmer than normal, too? We’ve been enjoying the lower cost of heating oil along with the less usage. It sure is making this winter less of a hit to the pocket book. That means a few more trips out to eat for us. What about you?
