Robin, I'm looking forward to reports on your day at the skating rink. Sounds interesting. Me and Maxine have a lot in common!
Kat, I hope you can find the perfect pillow for your neck. I've been experimenting some with pillows myself.
Wilde Woman, it's hard for me to figure how rain can be a positive for people living in a big city. I guess it has to be there too, in order for it to fall on the farmlands of the surrounding areas. I know it's necessary to sustain life in populations large and small. Seems like human (and sometimes animal) bodies often suffer from it with arthritis, migraines, allergies, etc. I hope you can get some relief. There's been some crippling arthritis in my family so I know how painful it can be. Cute picture of the little Dutch? boy. When I was a kid I so badly wanted some shoes like I'd seen in pictures of children from Holland.
No rain here but still cloudy and wet, in the 40s*. We won't get sunshine until the weekend. Next week looks real good though. Not much else going on here.
Robin, I thought of you and Vinnie this morning when my niece was telling me about her dog. She's basically an outdoor dog and loves hanging out with a couple of the barn cats outside. But she comes inside and stays when the weather is too hot or too cold or stormy. Lately, with all the cold weather, she's been driving my niece crazy. Every five minutes she goes to the door and wants out but as soon as she sticks her nose out and realizes it's too cold, she stays in. Five minutes later, repeat. Etc.
Sexton, this morning I heard of heavy rains down your way. Be safe!
