November 19

I've heard is said that variety is the spice of life and if that's so it is sure going to be very spicy around here for the next several day if not for the whole year. 54 this morning at 5:15, 61 at 9:00 and the mid 70's today and tomorrow came right out of the weatherman's mouth this morning. He also added that Wednesday we would be lucky to get out of the 30's and a good possibility of some mushy snow accumulation after we hit the hay Wednesday night. I suppose it could get so spicy as to keep us home Thursday instead of pigging out at Dory's nephew and wife's house with the rest of the family.

We don't care so much as to what weather we get as long as we pause and take a little time to count our blessings. There are far too many of those to allow such an incidental thing as the weather to have very much of a damping effect. Like Minnie Pearl used to say, "we're just so proud to be here". And also awfully proud that you still are too, wherever you might be!
