Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

We have been busy since arriving home -- mostly catching up on doctor and dentist appointments.

Walt had carpal tunnel surgery on his right hand on Dec 5th. He is doing well and the stitches will be removed tomorrow afternoon.

I had a broken tooth crowned. That process was finished yesterday.

It has been cold here and we have had some snow. The snowfall yesterday was so pretty - dry and soft. The yard is beautiful and we are especially enjoying the view out the window!

Thanks to dear freinds in Bonita Springs who call to let us know that it is "seven zero" in SW Florida. Well, it is "zero point seven" here!

The last photo here shows our little '98 Buick (aka Mrs. Grimaldi) in the snow. After a cushy life in Florida, she is very cold here. Mrs. Grimaldi got new tires and windshield wiper blades for the trip to Kansas. In return, she gave us almost 30 mpg on the road. She now has over 12,000 actual miles on her odometer. She's just about finished her break-in period.
