Christmas is all gone!

Just four more days until 2010. We had our son here from Tucson for Christmas. He stayed for 2 days plus Sat. morning. I just hated to see him leave, but he has work to do and a life in Arizona. Luckily for him, he will arrive home to warmer and generally milder weather.

Christmas morning was fun as was the entire holiday. Our kids were generous to a fault, so we feel very fortunate. I had a long conversation with my brother Rich in Illinois and all is well with him and his family. Holidays are good for catching up.

Our weather sux!! Well, the nights are bitterly cold and that north wind that we get during the day just sucks the life out of you. We have been having highs around 50F, but that wind makes it cold. The only redeeming feature is our sunshine. The sun is most always bright out here in the desert. Now on to 2010, which seems odd somehow. Floyd and I just keep hanging in there. I don't think either of us believed that we would be here for 2010, lol.

We wish you all a wonderful New Year and hoping that 2010 will be a banner year for all!!

I'm still having cold weather, although it has been sunny since Christmas Day. We still have a lot, A LOT of snow, but with temps heading to near 50° at the end of the week, that should be gone soon, too.

I'm glad you had a good Christmas. I did, too. No family with me, but still a very good time with friends, and that will continue into New Year's Eve! Life is good, isn't it?

So happy to hear that you had such a nice Christmas. Our weather today is just down right nasty! Our high was around 12 degrees but the windchill makes it like minus 10. Sam and Ashley did go out in it though ice fishing and caught a nice batch of rainbow and brown trout. They had a portable ice shack with a heater in it for warming up; otherwise they wouldn't be able to stay out too long. Isn't that something about the ants... I had to grin when you posted about your Christmas ants. Keep warm and stay healthy!
