Christmas gatherings with friends….in a couple of weeks

in a couple weeks --- we may have snow

We may have snow…I hope not

I hope not ----- that we have below freezing temps soon

That we have freezing temps soon….don’t want that

don't want that ----- ice in winter

Ice in winter….not for me

not for me ----- alcoholic beverages

Alcoholic beverages….very expensive

very expensive-----a trip to the grocery store
