The Heat is On...

I just walked by the thermostat and the temperature in our living room is 63º.

Our daughters are coming home in two days.

The forecast reports a low for tomorrow night of 14º.

Our daughters are built like greyhounds: not much there to keep them warm.

They come into our house and shiver like chihuahuas.

I remind them to pack winter wear.

Their definition of winter wear (stylish blouses, thin socks) is different from mine (turtlenecks under Fair Isle sweaters, Smartwool socks coupled with sheepskin slippers).

I will lay fleece lap blankets on the sofas, and we will turn the heat up.

I will haul out my Summer Paraphernalia box and find a couple of t-shirts for my weekend.
