When I lived in SD and Montana, we never had snow days. When I was teaching school in Ohio during the late 70s they called off school because of blizzards and cold and the lack of gas to heat the school. We were off for a month and had to go on Saturdays and lost our spring break to make up the time.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-83157328621587810702012-01-16T15:32:20.729-08:002012-01-16T15:32:20.729-08:00Kim, thanks so much.

Our granddaughter was born there in December, and it was really, really cold that year--below zero. I thought I was going to have frost bite when I took off my glove to answer my cell phone. I like visiting them in Arizona much better.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-58470467392025588452012-01-16T15:30:03.804-08:002012-01-16T15:30:03.804-08:00Ausjenny, it's definitely summer time down und...Ausjenny, it's definitely summer time down under. I've been watching the Australian Open, and I can see that the tennis players are hot. When it is 80 degrees at 7AM, it's going to be a hot day. That reminds me of the years we lived in Texas or when I go visit my daughter in Arizona.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-17104087142990322642012-01-16T15:27:43.680-08:002012-01-16T15:27:43.680-08:00Missy, thanks.

I grew up with three brothers, so it was nice having girls around for a change. But I have nothing against boys.

I think it was like 40 below zero, then there were added in wind chills.<br /><br />I'm not a huge cold weather person as far as doing things in the snow. My hubby and son #1 snowboard. Son #2 skis.

I have never seen fresh snow or seen it fall. <br />I dont really like winter cos its wet and cold but tend to do alot of reading too.<br /><br />but it is hard to think cold where we are about to have another day over 100 and its currently about 80 at 7am and rising fast.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-45544489517178801932012-01-16T11:30:47.144-08:002012-01-16T11:30:47.144-08:00What do I do when the weather is cold?

I know it sound a contrasense - chaos+safe - but what I mean is I enjoy Storms, Winds, Lightening as long as there is no harm done.<br /><br />Unfortunetly I don't have snow where I live in but - baring to have to dig your car to get to work ahahahah - I would love the experience.<br /><br />I don't do anything special when have time and cold weather. I cosy up and enjoy strolls, enjoy my garden, enjoy long and warm days by the fire.<br /><br />And no I couldn't live with a permanent Summer. No way.<br /><br />So in love with your Montana Match. I can even say - dare - that your writing changed from the first books I read and I love the new Merrillee.<br /><br />Thank you - and I say it from the heart - for creating Montana Match. The main characters are endearing, no one writes about twins like you do and you really love girls (one can tell) and all the secondary characters make us wish them the best too.<br /><br />You (and all your readers) have a Winner in their hands with Montana Match. And the cover is lovely!!!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-32797646056491725532012-01-16T09:42:50.381-08:002012-01-16T09:42:50.381-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-27361256467787751212012-01-16T09:01:05.077-08:002012-01-16T09:01:05.077-08:00My winter sport is having a cup delicious cocoa an...My winter sport is having a cup delicious cocoa and a good knitting project.
