I just think of the lousy hot, hot days of summer when you can's even go for a walk, air conditioned houses to air conditioned cars to air conditioned stores..And getting sunburned.......Kind of like we are doing in the snow except I can still go for a walk if I dress for it, and you don't get sunburned . You can get hypothermia if you don't dress for it or if you fall through the ice...Speaking of which I like ice fishing........ and the air is so much better in the winter........In the summer you can only take off so much and the dogs don't like the heat either...Glad it is only like that for about a week here. And I still hate the heat. Well enough of this old woman's rambling, got to go sledding with my granddaughter...you can't do that in the summer,,,except on the water(did that once in my life and almost killed myself. But that's another story. Fran ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
