Keith took his car to Medford for an oil change & some other work. When he was done he called from the road & I met him at Les Schwab. We then left my car for new tires and will pick it up tomorrow. Since I don't use my car all that often, & tend not to use it at all when the weather is bad, we didn't purchase top of the line tires for winter driving. The still cost enough.

I made an appointment to have my snow tires put on Saturday morning. They're essential, especially with my steep driveway. What's amazing, though, is how long both the snow tires and my regular all season tires last, swapping them twice a year. This will be the 6th or 7th winter for the snows, and the others have four years on them, and I've already been told they're still fine to put on next spring.

I have never had snow tires, and except for a few minor incidents over the years, I've never really needed them.
DR JANE such beautiful photos....and I love that outdoor chess set!!!
I'm off to take a lot of grief from my book group for selecting the Catherine the Great bio - bye for now!
From the stats department for season two - episode one is about to cross 12,000 views. Episode two is about to cross 14,000 views, and episode three in a week and a half is about to cross 8,000 view. Very happy with all this, needless to say.
Snow tires are mandatory here, I believe after Dec 15th.
Great photos, Jane
