Cold Down South


The temperature dropped down into the 20's last night and the big, roaring fire in our fireplace feels so good this morning. Jim had it started when I got up at 6:30 a.m.
He gets up early to check on temperature in the greenhouse. It was in the 40s inside the greenhouse today and 28 outside. So far so good. Plants are looking great.

Last Wednesday, Dec. 30, we went to Opp 
and while there we stopped by Mizelle Memorial Hospital to check out the Tree of Light where ornaments were purchased for $5 in honor of or in memory of people in 2009. Three friends from Opp purchased ornaments in memory of our son James and we found two of them.


The tree was so full of ornaments it was difficult to locate all 3 with his name. Proceeds for the sale are used for a hospital auxilliary project each year.

We spent New Year's Day doing absolutely nothing but watching TV and eating. Too cold to go outside. The Auburn/Northwestern University football game was so exciting.


When that was over we watched a very long movie "How the West Was Won" and neither of us remembered having ever seen it before. It was released in 1962 when we were living in Bremen, GA. With 3 little boys, and both of us working, I guess we didn't have time to watch long movies back then.
