Winter wonderland? No way! Winter horror. Cruel fate reared her ugly mug yesterday when I saw that temperatures were actually higher in New England. I moved back to North Carolina 16 years ago when I'd endured one to many winters in the northland.
I've never been much of a winter wimp, but this is testing the limits for me. Really, I've often said that one of the things I like about NC is that we have a real winter, but that it is blessedly brief in duration. Right now I'm not even inclined to take up my relatives' invitation to visit them at the coast of southeastern Georgia. I'm sure they are running around trying to cover citrus trees and checking on the neighbors.
But right now we are mostly rid of the snow and ice that fell before Christmas. We can get along with work and continue with efforts to make some big progress. Businesses are continuing to come into Uptown Shelby and we have had a net gain in the number of businesses operating here over the past 18 months.
One of the great joys I received for Christmas this year was the confirmation of a new business opening coming up in February for something near and dear to my heart. Coffee!!! I've talked with numerous folks about trying to get a coffee shop in Uptown, but nothing clicked until the folks behind Indigo Book Boutique and Coffee Bar entered the scenario. Yes Wade, there is a Santa Claus!
Stay warm and keep the faith y'all.
