Temps will be nearing 50 degrees here today, according to the weather dude. I had planned to begin the Undecorating Process today. I may rethink those plans and do some outside details instead. Weather like this should be savored and enjoyed this time of year.

I have a question for you, others as well. I need a good book on canning and freezing veggies, know of a good one?

You probably have similar connections to us. And 30 years sounds about right for high-speed cable connections. Since moving from town, our connection speed has gone from 52 kbps down to 26.4. Kind of takes the fun out of freeping.

I'm surprised you want to start undecorating already. We usually wait until after New Year's Day, but traditionally Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree went up on December 24 and stayed up until Epiphany on January 6. I know a Norwegian family in Seattle who still does it that way. All of this Christmas decorations starting in November makes the day after Christmas feel like it's all over when traditionally you're at the beginning of the 12 days of Christmas.
