Looking forward to your photos.<BR/><BR/>Carl - Thanks. We had a quiet Christmas and are ready to move on in to 2009. It warmed up to a balmy 61 yesterday. Now it's 28 and snowing again. Guess I won't dig out my shorts and sandals for a few more months yet.<BR/><BR/>Marg - Yeah, it was pretty cold. Thank goodness it doesn't last too terribly long. Enjoy your lovely weather. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-28918533868057167262008-12-24T16:22:00.000-08:002008-12-24T16:22:00.000-08:00Wow!

We still have snow in Victoria, although it's raining a bit today so I fear it may not last much longer. <BR/>I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Les! :)tanabatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592550784537825632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-91458798627757638212008-12-23T06:35:00.000-08:002008-12-23T06:35:00.000-08:0020 below here this morning!

Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Lynne - I agree. I really don't mind winter, but when it gets this cold and icy and snowy, I start to get cranky. I'm ready to move to Arizona.<BR/><BR/>Kailana - Well, we should really only have 3-4 more months of this. ;)<BR/><BR/>Lorraine - Yep, and you'd think with my Canadian blood (well, half Canadian), I'd be able to handle these cold temps. We lived in Valleyview, Alberta when I was a little girl and I'm pretty sure it was much colder there than it is here. Not sure what Ottawa was like, but I'm sure it was cold, too. Brr, I'm cold just thinking of it. Time for a warm drink.<BR/><BR/>Debnance - Oh my gosh! Are you joking?! Maybe Texas isn't all that bad. :) And your weather sounds as fickle as ours. We were near 70 one day and in the teens the following day. Crazy.<BR/><BR/>Kim - I've been watching the weather in the Seattle area (as well as along the Oregon coast). It sounds pretty miserable and I'm sure it feels even cold with the dampness from the ocean and Sound. You stay warm and safe, too. <BR/><BR/>Mary - Yep, I think Mother Nature has outdone herself this winter. Perhaps, though, it won't last until April. One can only hope, right?<BR/><BR/>JoAnn - NOOOOOOO. Don't say that!! I'm hoping spring gets an early start in February or March. If not, I may just book a flight to Tahiti.<BR/><BR/>Mark - Quit your whining! 52 is not cold! Nebraskans would be in shorts with those temps. :) :) <BR/><BR/>Yes, Go Chargers!!<BR/>Love Ya!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-17084050018194788852008-12-22T13:08:00.000-08:002008-12-22T13:08:00.000-08:00Well......it is hard for me to admit, but it is ra...Well......it is hard for me to admit, but it is raining here in San Diego and it is really colddddd, around 52F.
