Hi Judy!
Yes, I guess the Minn. people will have to come up with their own version of the same story----Floridians are wusses!
Hugs,

Hi Linda,
Lynn, my older sister, thought I would find these amusing but I guess those who live with it day in and day out do not see the humor! What a great attitude about the lawn furniture, that is the WI spirit!!!
Kim
That is just too funny, and true too!
Can't beat the changes in seasons up north....but this cold is just about enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Missed reading yesterday. I always try to check in.

I just spewed coffee on my keyboard! I also slept with my sliding glass door and window open last night. My neighbors in NJ used to laugh at me. When it got cold there, I'd open windows to air out the house and freeze all the germs!
Love,
Cindy
Hi Dee Dee!
Yes, in reading your facebook postings I see you are quite fed up with the wretched weather. If you have never lived in the south, you would not know there is a difference! What that 'fuuny' said is true, I freeze in the 70's!

Hi Cindy,
How funny you mentioned sleeping with the sliding doors open----when I visited Judy R. in MN last spring, she made up a bed from me with down comforters, blankets, built a small fire, the whole shootin' match. But she slept with her windows open that same night......
Laughing,
Kim
Thanks for the laugh,
Last week Tom shoveled a path through the snow on the deck to the grill, we made prime rib! It was great! This week we shoveled again to make a chicken. Thank God for gas grills! We spent the night at a Day's inn in Elgin, IL, what a nightmare, the first room had absolutely no heat, so they moved us next door, it wasn't much warmer. There was a space big enough to stick my finger in between the patio doors! I felt a cold breeze all night. I know the Day's inn I will stay at in a few weeks will be much better!!! Can't wait!
Love you lots!
Linda
Hi Linda!
Sorry to hear all the Day's Inns are not up to standards. I will wheel my little heater down the hall to your room so you won't be too chilly when you're here! Counting the "Days"......
Hugs,
Kim
