January 13,2006

Good evening to one & all. It is a typical winter day here. I woke up this morning to single digit temps & snow covering the ground. This is the first really cold weather that we have had. We have had more snow, but not the bone chilling cold. ince I am now retired I don't have to be concerned about getting the pickup started and the snow and frost cleared from the windows & windshield. So about 10:00 I thought that I had better clean the snow off of the front steps & the sidewalk. The snow was light & dry so I just swept it off with a broom. Someone had already cleaned the sidewalk for me. I think that it was probably the neighbors to the east of us. Yesterday was not our typical lazy day. Melody & her 2 little ones arrived about 9:30, and the proceeded to get out something to play with & their attention span is short so the go from one thing to another. They are good kids, not to noisy or screaming. Melody worries about them because the seem, to her, to be making a mess of Grandma's house. But it isn't as bad as she thinks. I have been reading from a magazine called The Good News. It is published by the United Church of God. There are some very timely & interesting articles about Iraq, Iran & the other countries in that area. There are also some interesting sidebars. The magazine is free, just go to info@ucg.org & you will be on their mailing list. I think I am about out of space so will close with Psalm 119:148 God bless all of you. Gramps

Hi Grandpa. It's Christina. Boy, we sure miss snow. Down here in New Orleans, we don't see that very often! Although, it's been chilly here too (well, cold for us) in the 40's, not so cold for you guys. Well, hope you have a great day.
Love,
Christina Johnson

We finally got snow in Minnesota, too. This past week has been cold: a few days of single digits, most days with highs in the teens. We still haven't seen any subzero temps though. Unusual for mid-January in the land of sky-blue waters.

Eastern Europe was hit by storms with hurricane-force winds. Meanwhile, Italy has been unseasonably warm with January weather that looks like May. Mighty funny weather we've been having lately—all over the world.
