The weather -- not so much. I had plenty of that when I lived South of Manitoba, East of North Dakota. Now I'm in balmy southern Maine where temps like yours would be front page news.

Dear Crimson, I hope that you are at this moment tucked in with a hot water bottle and a warm beverage and feeling of satisfaction that the Advent season has been truly and thoroughly ushered in. Well done today! We've had a lessons and our carols and our casseroles and we are ready now to wait together in darkness for the return of the Light.suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606494812564984595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452366057148963499.post-18259501054088464912007-12-02T19:20:00.000-08:002007-12-02T19:20:00.000-08:00Yes, I am well and truly north of the 49th paralle...Yes, I am well and truly north of the 49th parallel.
