BBBRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!





It's way too cold here in Florida!
Last night we had a freeze warning and tonight we have a hard freeze warning (freezing temps over 4 hours). Bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Just talking about it makes me cold. In addition, we're having some fierce winds. Hubby and I took a walk today at lunch. Hubby made us turn around early because it was too cold. Actually, I thought it was cold, too, because of the wind. It was swirling right down the back of my shirt and I wasn't happy. Should've worn a sweatshirt with a hood.
I picked 4 potatoes to have with dinner tonight and then tucked all my plants in for the night. I don't have enough old sheets for all my plants, so I may lose some of my ornamental plants bordering my pool area. Actually, many of them will look terrible, but if I cut them back in March will come back this Spring. The ground doesn't freeze so the roots of most of the plants survive.
I'm spending time gearing up for the marriage ministry Hubby and I are starting and trying to raise awareness and money for ALS. http://web.alsa.org/site/TRC.
Next Wednesday, a friend and I are going to see the "Piece by Piece" display here in Tampa for ALS.








Hubby got ballroom dancing lessons for his birthday. I can't wait to start! This weekend we're sitting down and picking a class that fits our schedule. Should be fun. Another couple wants to do it with us...even more fun.

I spent yesterday and today painting the wooden letters the Singer got me for Christmas. The letters spell out "CRAFT CORNER." She cleared a space in her room, set up a folding table and told me I could use the space for scrap booking. She also bought a little plastic rolling cart for me to store stuff in. She left the letters bare wood, knowing I'd have fun painting and decorating them. I drew different craft implements on each letter. It was so much fun to plan and then do it. Now I have to get them hung. I can't wait.
