For living in the Midwest all of my life, I am most certainly not fond of the winter weather we have. Though we have always been tied down here because of the hubby’s job, that is no longer the case and I’m beginning to get the itch to flee from cold midwest winters more and more.

Having our one and only child move off to South Carolina over Christmas does not help with that longing to move warm. Though I realize the grass is always greener when looking out the window to the other “lawn”. Having recently learned of the critters “Y’all” have down there, namely 6 poisonous snakes in the area she has relocated to has me slowing down ordering up the moving truck!

Until, that is, until we got hit with another blast of freezing rain/sleet/snow/crud this week and I think about just getting me a big shovel and a pair of cowboy boots. It has now finally made sense to me why boys AND girls where cowboy boots in the south! Varmit protection! Blech!

I don’t know about you, but I just don’t know how much more cold I am going to be able to take this year. Our condo is freezing to me and even with the heat on, I sit with a portable heater at my feet most of the time. Of course it could be the lofted ceilings graced with plastic skylights that don’t help the situation any! Nonetheless, I am SO ready for spring to get here. I am SO ready for the days to go no lower than 50 degrees. But alas, it is Ohio and I know this will not be here just quite yet. Sigh…….

So – in hoping for brighter days and some days where that big ol’ yellow ball beams from the sky down on our bodies filling us with natural Vitamin D, I offer you this prize package! You know I do a real scientific drawing of names out of the bowl, don’t you?!
