ITS COLD!

I know, I know. What I term as cold would be a balmy day for the rest of you. But it has been getting into the very low 60°'s and upper 50°'s here. Remember, that we do not have heaters in our houses. Nor is there any insulation in the walls or ceiling.

I don't own a jacket, sweater or even a long-sleeved shirt. And after almost 14 years on Mau'i (anniversary on the 24th), my blood has really thinned out. The first night I arrived in upcountry Pukalani the temp at 1,000' was 45° and everybody was in any warm clothes they could find and I was in a tank top and shorts, sweating like a stuffed pig. I had just come from California/Nevada (the northern end of both) The day I left Nevada the high temp was -15° and the day I left California, one week later, the temp in the Central Valley was a blazing 35°. It had actually snowed there just before Christmas but didn't last long.

Now, almost 1½ decades later, I guess I am a wimp.

Have a great day, everybody.!

Hope everyone has had a good start to their New Year. We've been hectic here, between work, and my Mom, who is living with us, being hospitalized, we've been running like a pack of wolves. David sends a thanks for the birthday wishes. He's been working overtime as they are putting in a new radiology imaging/reading system, and he's the IT guy in charge of it. Training is this week, so I don't see my geek til late. We've had over 2 feet of snow since just before Christmas, but this week it's going fast. The high today was 54!! Unheard of in this part of the country for January. I want to send a happy belated birthday to both Kent (12/31) and his lovely bride, Mrs. K. (12/25). Miss you guys!!! And to Wil- sounds like business is picking up a bit- Glad for ya'!

Blog pimping

In case you missed it, we had one hell of a storm on Mau'i this week.

I wrote about it here

SNOW!! In El Paso

Saw this on the news tonight.

That is very rare.

Tim, is Patty and family still stationed there?

So now I'm a blogger!

I've left comments on other's blogs, but never started a post!  How ya' all doing?  Hope everyone has had their fill of turkey.  It's a beautiful sunny day here in the north country, but the temp is 18F with a wind chill of -1.  So, what's this global warming thing?  J/K. I'm including a recent pic of "the girls", just to try it out.  Hey, pretty cool!  Thanks for setting this up, Wil.

I may just have to start up my own nursing blog one of these days!
