Dear Friends and Family in Southern California,
To all of you who wondered how I’d fare in my new snowy home, let me cry out to you as only you can understand. I’m freezing! Seriously, the last two days were in the teens (damn teens). Like 14 degrees F and I think maybe the F stands for …. freezing, frigid or frightful. In fact the only reason I can even write this is that we have pretty decent supply of Christmas cookies to keep me going and because it has warmed up to 36.
The problem is not outside, it is inside. Remember, we are restoring our home, with an emphasis on the -ing as in not done. A lot of the ‘not’ done parts are making the rest of the parts of our wonderful old home down right cold, really cold. Even the Pastor (who comes from Southern California) stopped by to offer me hope and encouragement.
I know some of you are thinking, that winter hasn’t even officially started yet and are wondering if I have enough Christmas cookies to actually make it through. All I can say, is… please send chocolate.
See’s Dark Chews…no nuts.
Thank you.
Brrrrr! But the photo of the farm is gorgeous!!!
PS I love the photo. Sx
Oh Ellen! I do not envy you one bit! we were there 2 years ago when we did an extension on our home, and we were freezing.
There was nothing to keep us from the outside other than a piece of tarpaulin!
We had the heating on full blast, the coal fires burning, and we were still shivering!
Oh it was just so so cold! Brrrrrrrr!
Good luck!
Love to you all

So sorry you are cold! Put some bath towels in the dryer for a while, then take them out and wrap yourself in them…. cozy warm!
Also, the pix of the snowy tree and the barn in the background is definitely a good card/framed photo!!! Youv’e got a real eye for photos.
