WHITE CHRISTMAS EVE

Looked out at 4:30 and surprised to see SNOW! How heartwarming to see snow on Christmas Eve. Happy Holidays to all.

NEW TRAIL

Conservancy workers have be devoting a bit of their time to constructing a new hiking trail that would connect the Cordry boat ramp to existing trails in the hiking trail complex. It's muddy and hard to follow at present but will be a welcome addition to the system. Pictured is a bridge that crosses a small stream in the valley.

FIRST DAY OF WINTER

December 21st is the official first day of winter. Hard to believe as these fishermen were enjoying 55 degree sunny afternoon on Sweetwater Lake.

SNOW MAN

The lack of snow didn't hinder the local Nineveh Auto Repair business from coming up with a snow man!

CSCD EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION

It was CSCD Employee Appreciation Luncheon today at Sweetwater Realty. All enjoyed the lunch and conversations shared.

FIRST SNOW

The first snow of the season arrived on Saturday morning of December 9th. It was only an inch or so but the ground was still warm and the auto traffic compressed it into ice causing numerous slide offs for a couple of hours. I think it just caught everyone by surprise or we all forgot how to drive on snow! Several cars were stranded in the bottom of Cordry Dip, Church Hill, and Nineveh Road near the county line. After a couple of hours of sanding and salting, the roads were back to normal.

BUILDING PROJECTS

There are several building projects going on around the lakes as winter approaches. Pictured is one new house that went up last week on Hummingbird Drive on Sweetwater. This unit replaces a unit that was torn down. Another "remodel/tear down" is under construction elsewhere on Hummingbird.

CSLOA CRAFT DAY

The Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owners Association (CSLOA) sponsored a Children's Christmas Craft Day at the clubhouse. Numerous stations were manned by volunteers with lots of Christmas creations resulting. A full house with lots of participants made the day a huge success. Pictured is Larry Kolar helping a youngster with a wood project.
