Kathy~can I send my kids to your house?? First of all, they've never seen snow and second of all, they'll be coming home from school here in Florida soon all jacked up from the sugar overload they got while "partying" at school...I'm preparing for a long night ;-)

All kidding aside, Merry Christmas!

LaShawn ~ Your kids are welcome to come over and have some hot chocolate.  I am sure they would enjoy it more if we had snow for sledding or building snowmen.  My sister wanted to go to Florida for Christmas this year, but I said no.  We love Florida but I cannot imagine Christmas without snow.  Merry Christmas to you too.

Shirley ~ It was a very pleasant day.  It is snowing today and I have been out delivering my client Christmas gifts.  I had to stop at the office to thaw my toes.  Merry Christmas.

Kathy, we have had some crazy weather here!  Although a cold front came through yesterday, Saturday it was 70 degrees, and today is expected to get up to 60.

How was your Christmas?  Do you have some pictures to post?

Kathy:  Did you actually have a white Christmas?  That would have been great.

Kathy,

Happy New Year to you. We had a doosy of a Christmas this year. I think we got 12 inches of the white Christmas here. Made travelling to Grandma's house a little more interesting. You paint a pretty picture.

Randy ~ I didn't have to go out that day, so it was just a pretty picture.  The day after Christmas was not a pretty picture as I spent the entire day chipping ice from decks and my driveway.
