Oh, my goodness, sweet, it has been bitter cold in both AK and KY. I don’t envy you being in either location.
It seems a little ridicuous to keep posting about changes in the weather but I am because I can’t bear to hear, think about or watch the hysteria taking place around the country and in a few other locations. The idea of watching delirious mobs mindlessly, irrationally celebrating the coronation of a cult leader sickens me. Sooo, I’m staying busy with just about anything else that comes to mind... talking weather, making travel plans, redecorating.
On the other hand, it was a worthwhile trip. My sister's fiance threw a huge surprise party for her 50th birthday; hired a band and everything. She was very surprised. She didn't know anything about it, least of all that either me or Dawn would be there. Dawn flew in from Colorado. There were people there we hadn't seen in years. That part was fun, but not being much of a partier, I was pretty much ready to go not long after. Of course, most of my family can drink me under the table. I drink more when I visit family than the whole rest of the year combined, but no way can I keep up with them.
