Hi Kathy- Popping in to say hi. I am doing well.  I used to think it was funny when you said it was cold at 50* because I had lived 50 yrs in Upstate N.Y and 50* was a heat wave. Now that I have lived in Arizona for 5 years 50* is cool and definitely cold when it is windy. Very windy here for the past week and half of this one. 

I hope you had a great Christmas and your New year is going wonderfully.
