This pretty much tells it: My thermometer is telling me that it is 1º below zero! It is warm inside my home, but I still am feeling a bit of that chill. Time to fix a hot cup of tea, and then I'll come back for a brief chat with you ... ahhh... that's better. A cup of chai!

I've been helping my mom get things transferred to a new email service. It takes time to learn new things, and new ways of dealing with email is one example. I am so impressed by her willingness to continue to learn! She puts up the "bar" ... things to accomplish when (if) I get to be 90!

Here is a picture of Mom in a new sweater that she got for Christmas from my younger sister and her husband.  We went out to eat at Red Lobster the other day, and have some pictures of that delightful meal, too.    

Here's an appropriate quote to end to this post:  "As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night." (Genesis 8:22, NLT)

And a final p.s. - It is now -3º !! Time to get under my electric blanket!
