Sunday morning I awoke and headed for the bathroom. (You all do it, don't deny it!) As I stumbled for the door I happened to notice that our back lawn was not the normal dark shadow it usually is at 7:30 in the morning. With a great sense of trepidation I pulled the curtain aside and gasped loud enough to wake Adam. He rolled over and said "oh, we got a lot of snow!". Even without his glasses he could see the 6 inches of powder piled up on the deck outside our bedroom. Now, if you guys know anything about me you'll know I hate winter, cold, snow, etc. About the only redeeming thing that can be said for the winter season is that it brings Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in quick succession. Not to mention Sabrina's and Brayden's birthdays. But other than those five things I would be perfectly content without that season. I think we should just eliminate it from our calendars. If I could live someplace that didn't have winter but also didn't get above 100 degrees in the summer I would think life was heaven. Unfortunately about the only place that exists is in Hawaii and the cost of living is too expensive to make it worth my while. Maybe when I'm rich someday (HA!) I'll have a winter condo in Hawaii and retreat there six months of the year. And I will of course invite all of you to come and stay!
By the way, just on the off chance that one of you achieve this first, don't forget that I would've invited you! So, return the favor! (Kind of)
