I'm speechless....

Oh my goodness! We are in the 80's today and all week. Hopefully everyone stays home today and doesn't go out. I just can't imagine it being that cold.
Loe you

You really should compare this post with my most recent post ("Bliss"); then you and Ginger should sit down and say, "Hmm, where do we really want to live?"
