The Week That Was – 3.1

So it has been sunny and cold until today… and now it is freezing and wet, wet, wet and I am wondering if we will ever step dare to step out of the front door again. Well there are a couple of insane people that live in this house that are still walking around in a t-shirt and shorts – brrrr… but most of us are lurching from one blanket to the next praying that this thing called winter “shall come to pass…”

  1. Yep, the littlest one certainly is not adding anything to the whole blog “idea list” is he?

    Then again, he’s not distracting you with a bazillion questions in the midst of a single typewritten sentence. (That’s my excuse for why my blog isn’t near as witty as I feel it could be.)
