Good evening, Kathy. No more rain here ... but we're sure having a lot of fog. The fog never burned off today and it was gray and damp all day, mid-40s. I just checked the 10-day forecast: no rain forecast, as of right now. Are you getting a lot of snow?

We're having a quiet holiday, with a lot of time just being together and hanging out around the house. My wonderful DH leaves bright and early on Saturday January 2 for a 90-day TDY in Florida as an Instructor Pilot @ Hurlburt Field.
