"Flip flops in the snow" to the tune of "Singing in the Rain". Hi there, Shoe, I think of you every time I eat errsters!

Hah, Mary, you and errsters! Wish I had some. Errster soup would be a nice warming meal today. Hope you're still in touch with the Cajuns.

FlaFlower....(always loved that moniker), you're having your share of cold. And with that thin Fla blood no doubt you better keep your shoes on.

Lyn, hope all is well over on your side of the country. I bet your valley is much warmer than the South is right now. Be thankful. I imagine you'll be planting things in another month!

Dave (Beely!) I hope the family is staying active, farming and gardening, and probably by now teaching others.

Vic, will be in touch (surprise snow here.)

Best to all.
Shoe (warm feet for sure.)

I wondered if you got snow. I was hoping you were too far inland to get any.

Windy and cold here. 24 with a wind chill of 13 and will be 14 overnight.

Stay warm and safe.

Our cold spell is breaking finally. We saw temps in the teens these past couple days. Trish even let the outside cat come in during the nights!! Blinking She told me I should be happy that she at least makes the cows stay out no matter how cold it gets! Hilarious!

Dave, did you get any snow? I know that's a treat for your kids.

It has just been brutally cold up here.

No snow for us, unfortunately, as much as I know the children would love to have fun playing in it. It's been many many years since we've had any real snow. Maybe this will be the year!

Hah! Whoops, sorry. I just schnorkeled a sip of (blue) soda out my nose, reading about Trish and bringing the cows in, or rather leaving them out! (Is schnorkel a word? You still have your hands full, dave.

Shoe, schnorkel is quite descriptive and should definitely be a word. I see those Crazy Cajuns on facebook. Can you imagine Lisa and Sally lifting weights and winning?! Don't mess with those ladies!!

Howdy, Mary! And yes, I hear Lisa is a weight lifting champion! I suppose if she and Sally both are into it then the smile on Jesse's face must be bigger than it normally is.

Hope all is well with everyone. Hang in there, spring is right around the corner!
