Another gloomy February
Well, here we are in February already. I don’t know about all y’all, but I’m not a fan of this month. The weather fluctuates like Oprah’s dress size. It might be nice and warm one day and two days later it’s colder than an Eskimo’s toilet seat. There are a few holidays this month, but none that require roasting a turkey or decorating the house. I suppose some younger folks might celebrate Valentine’s Day, but in our home, after 43 years of marriage, we normally rejoice by sharing a Snickers bar and sipping on box wine. 02/07/2024 09:00 PM
