Windows
You can tell because the sun sets at 4:00 and the morning dew on your windshield has turned to ice. The solstice may still be a few weeks away, but for all pragmatic purposes, winter has arrived. If you are surviving the cold snaps by turning up the thermostat and piling on the blankets then maybe it’s time to consider an alternative. Addressing the drafty corners that you’ve been so careful to avoid can help keep you and yours warmer when the of single digit temperatures comes rolling in.
Windows
For windows to be fully sealed, they must be closed and in the locked position. Locking your windows isn’t just to keep people from getting into your home. It helps create a weather tight seal and prevent drafts in your home.

Sugo vs. Gravy and Cancer Loses
In the third annual Sugo vs Gravy fundraiser, Chef Anthony’s gravy won over the Mayor’s Sugo BUT the real news is that cancer loses out to the massively successful fundraising efforts undertaken at Tonno Wednesday afternoon. The final numbers haven’t been announced as of this writing, but it appears that this third annual event raised somewhere in the vicinity of $45000 – $50000, smashing previous amounts. Great job to everyone involved and special thanks to Warren Waugh for his auctioneering and for his very generous donation. Thanks to the staff for their donation of tips, thanks for all the donations, tremendous kudos Warren Waugh and Lyon-Waugh Auto staff for their support of this event. The Addison Gilbert Hospital presented Chef Anthony and Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken with special certificates of recognition (well deserved) for their continued efforts. It was our first time attending, but it will not be our last. I was expecting it to be fun and it was; but it was unexpectedly emotional in a positive way.
Sorry your eyes are closed, but this is a nice shot, so I included it anyhow.
Eggplant with sugo. Yummmmm….my personal favorite.
Meatballs with gravy….GMG Jimmy’s favorite.
Warren Waugh as auctioneer!
Shout out to GMG.
Traffic stopped for this historic moment.
Cancer got crushed!

Credit Score and PMI Explained
One of the most important aspect of any person’s financial profile is their credit score. This is the first thing all creditors look at when making a credit decision for an applicant. Someone’s credit score will help determine whether they will get a loan or not, and more importantly, what that loan will cost. The lower the credit score, chances are it will come with a higher interest rate. Conversely, a higher credit score is going to get someone a better and more competitive rate.
This is true when buying a home as well. Not only will a higher credit score give someone a better interest rate, but if they are putting down less than 20% for a down payment, it will also affect how much they will pay in PMI. PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. If a homebuyer wants to buy a house with less than 20% down…

GOOD MORNING! BROUGHT TO YOU BY MISS SNOWY OWL (AND SNOW BUNTINGS, AND TURKEYS, TOO)
A fresh-faced and sleepy-eyed Miss Snowy Owl, a flock of Snow Buntings, and a gang of turkeys made for a beautiful morning ❤
The Snow Buntings were too far away to get a good snapshot, but it is wonderful to see their return to Massachusetts from summer nesting grounds in the high Arctic.
Stirring up the leaf litter with their feet.
A great gang of Wild Turkeys (approximately three dozen!), of mixed age, were foraging amongst the leaf litter, using their big feet to kick up the leaves. The first-hatch year poults stayed more to the center of the flock, while the older hens were foraging at the perimeter.
Exquisite iridescence in Wild Turkey feathers.

Funky Flannels at Design of Mine
These new flannel shirts with sewn in designs on the back from Design of Mine drew my attention at last night’s Sip and Shop at Riversbend (great event). I especially like the local ones. I believe Melissa Tarr plans to feature them tomorrow night for the Ladies Night event.
