    PLEASE stay warm as best as you can! I can not imagine that kind of cold. We lived overseas for several years and they would break out the earmuffs when the temp dropped below 60 degrees.

    Wow! That is so nice to know. Life is funny. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and when I went back for my 50th class reunion, I found out that one of my classmates grandparents lived in Grantsburg and that he spent his summers up here. Small world isn't it? Yolanda

    Gosh Yolanda! That must be terrible. Watch the post I'll send you a little sunshine from my country as soon as the rain has stopped. South Africa.

    Jitkaau, that must be near Darwin where you live. I was there last year from Aug-Nov.....unbearable is the word. As much as I love my children I wouldn't like to go there in the wet season again.
