Sunday so far

We woke to sunny and cold today -- 14 degrees (-10 C). The friends who had planned to be here early to hunt didn't show up until after 9:00. They said they got up about 5:00, got ready and then looked at the thermometer -- and decided to go for a hot breakfast instead. They will be here most of the day, but the middle of the day is not the best time for deer. I think the boys who are learning to hunt will learn two main lessons -- deer hunting can be cold and it can be boring.

Tom and I thought about going somewhere, but not much is happening on this between-holidays Sunday except the last gasp of post-Christmas shopping. The Chazen Museum in Madison has an exhibit I want to visit, but today didn't seem like the day to do that. So we plan to make a trip down there later to see the exhibit -- a modern illuminated manuscript of the Bible done by the monks at St. John's in Collegeville -- and to use our Christmas gift card for a meal at P.F. Chang's.

So our big trip was grocery shopping. That had to be done. At least walking up and down the aisles at Wally World helped me get in some of my steps for the day.

Well... I guess I'll stop complaining that we woke up to sunny and cold today — 50 degrees (10C). I wore three layers and a scarf at the cafe this morning. Had to strip off two layers and the scarf an hour later.

Okay, all you people who think 50 degrees is cold! That's okay. In Wisconsin we think 80 degrees is hot.

it is getting down near freezing; here in AZ this is considered appallingly cold.
