Brrrr…it’s cold in the house this morning. Time to turn the furnace on to melt the icicles. Okay, maybe it’s not quite *that* cold. :-) #

Just moved everything from one side of our garage to the other and called it, “cleaning”. I still can’t park my van inside. # My dad just surprised us with apple pie and 3 kinds of ice cream from the Picket Fence Creamery. YUM! May skip dinner altogether tonight. #
