Hello!! Afternoon here and beautiful looking outside, but that wind with temp in low 40's not to good, but nice for our necessary walk this morning. We had really low wind chill factors early morning, thought my IPad was messing up. I'm in southern park of Fl right now, but it was wee hours this morning and we were rocking some but inside with heater on. Still this is Fl, temps like that with those wind chill factor, and being so south I was surprised. Not so bad though when I checked home area in NC
Party was fun last night, cold but they had outside heaters for band and for guests. Only so many could get around the one, but they had their barn opened up and many were in there out of wind. Didn't get to 37 but was 46 and that wind made it colder. I enjoyed, haven't been to a Christmas party in years. Mostly Military there, so there was a big box to collect "Toys for Tots", and a few were recognized and thanked for their service. One guy had several medals, two Purple Hearts among them. Quite a list. You could tell he was a man who would do anything to save his buddies, but 17 were lost and he suffers from it. He and his wife were super nice people. One man travels the state attending all funerals, another works with men going from military life back to civilian life.
This is an annual event one of my DD's friends and her husband host every year. Their place was so lit up with all kinds of decorations, colorful lights everywhere, I enjoyed the lights and scenes thoroughly, I'm worse then a kid about Christmas lights
They added an extra occasion last night, which was a highlight for us. My granddaughter will be 13 Monday, so they called her up and presented her with an arm load of Roses and host danced with her and then two more of her Moms friends, she was glowing time she walked off the dance floor. So all in all it was a great night in spite of low temps!!!
Rambled enough, time to eat my tummy is saying. Hoping you all have a good day. Sorry you're hurting, Donna, when temps drop down here, moisture in the air and wind, causes us problems.
Stay safe, warm, dry, and away from fire area, now the snow hmm not many places to get out of it !!
