Where’s my thermal underwear? I’m wearing several layers of clothes but I’m still cold!! No, I’m not huddled under the “slanket”; I’m about twelve inches from the space heater. No, I’m not watching television; I’m climbing the family tree. A cousin sent an obituary (via email) so I’m documenting her family. “Cousin”  said she had “Frantz” ancestry so I’ve been searching–and documenting–her lineage.

Here’s a shameful confession: I have no desire to venture outdoors and replace the covers on the plants/planters. Tonight is predicted to be even colder so the plants will suffer. Shame, shame, Lorraine!!
