Brrrrrr! It's Cold!!

The local weatherman says the low tonight will be 16 degrees. I'm not fond of cold weather. I'd much rather have the other extreme of 116 degree temp! It seems once I get cold, particularly my feet, I cannot warm back up! However in the summer, as long as I have some source of air blowing around me, I'm fine!

I guess this weather should be expected since this is the week of Christmas. Since we live in Arkansas though, we never know what to expect. I can remember Christmases with snow and ice, and others when we wore shorts and t-shirts. The old saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Arkansas today, just wait until tomorrow." Yes, just yesterday the high was somewhere around 70 degrees.

Speaking of Christmas, I have finished shopping and have wrapped all our gifts! WooHoo!! That's pretty good for me. We usually don't even start shopping until a couple of weeks before Christmas, buying most it in one day, and still hunting for a few stray gifts on Christmas Eve. We'll spend Christmas day at home with my parents coming up to visit. Then later on the weekend we'll go visit my in-laws. Not many gifts under the tree, but I think the girls will like what's there.

Mom needed a picture of our family for a frame she bought so we snapped this one the other night while we were visiting some friends of ours. Thought it might be appropriate to post this week.
Merry Christmas!
