January 3, 2010
I knew there would come a time when we would smack our foreheads and say: "What were we thinking????" leaving Mexico for colder climes. Yes, today might be one of those times. The sun is brilliant but there's absolutely no warmth in it whatsoever, but fortunately no moisture either. It's 7 degrees F (-4 C)and bone dry. We've spent the last few days snuggled inside with both dogs and both cats. We bought an electric fireplace for the family room, which is really an electric heater/blower dressed up very nicely. Because this room can be closed off from the rest of the house, we can get it pretty toasty.
It looks something like this:
We've been reading, watching movies. Bob watched the University of Louisville/University of Kentucky basketball game on TV yesterday. In KY, this game takes on the importance of the Super Bowl. I watched a couple of movies on my laptop, peeking around the corner to catch a glimpse of the action now and then. Oh......UK won.
We may venture out into the wider world of 2010 today. Time for some replenishments.

That game was tough, and I was rootin' Redbird (Mark's gotten to me, apparently). Glad you guys are snuggled in. We are too, using the last day of the break to get stuff done around the house. Classes don't start until Wednesday, but I'm actually planning on braving the cold Monday and Tuesday to get some last-minute school stuff done (buy books, yipes!, etc.).
Love you! Stay warm!
