How is everyone this morning?   It is already 40 degrees out - up 33 degrees over the same time yesterday.   We may actually get to see patches of our yard today for the first time in months.    It&#39;s supposed to be a beautiful day and I hope to turn down the heat, open the windows and get some fresh air into this house.   <br /><br />Today is definately a retail therapy day.   They opened &quot;The Christmas Tree Shop&quot; not too far from us - I love that store and only get to go there when I&#39;m at David&#39;s house in Ct.    Always manage to do serious damage to the budget there but they have such really neat things. Let&#39;s just say Jim was not thrilled to hear they opened one only about 10 minutes from our house.      Deb &amp; I went there yesterday (it only opened on Friday) but ran out of room in her car so Jim &amp; I are heading there when they open today.   They had the storage ottomans I have been looking all over for as well as some really cute planters for the deck and lots of other interesting things.    It&#39;s one of those hit or miss types of store but yesterday was definately a hit and since they have not even advertised their opening I&#39;m sure it will be the same today.  <br /><br />Kevin - sounds like you had a beautiful evening snowshoeing.     Too bad you couldn&#39;t get any pictures.   <br /><br />Jenn - Have fun looking at the Hawaii excursions.     Hawaii is definately on my bucket list.    <br /><br />Cheryl - sounds like you have a busy year ahead of you.   I&#39;m sure Scotty will enjoy his trip to Mt. Rushmore with you.    Ashleigh is really pushing us for a trip to Washington, DC so that just may be our trip with Ash &amp; Paige this year - not quite sure yet.   <br /><br />Jackie - how are you doing today?    Do you at least have a day off so you can rest or are you working again?<br /><br />Joey - How is David today?   Hope he is feeling better.<br /><br />Falina - How is your throat?   I hope you are doing better.<br /><br />Deb - Hope you had a very Happy Anniversary and enjoyed a nice celebration.<br /><br />Jim - Thanks for the donuts to go with that coffee.   You sure do know how to start off our day.<br /><br />Time to get a move on and start my day.   I&#39;ll be back later to chat some more but I need to get my dining room put back in order now that Michael has taken our old TV out of there and I really need to put Jim&#39;s closet back together after pulling it apart yesterday.  <br /><br />Make today special<br /><br />
