JSS: Staying Home-- Big-Time Cold-- Historical Society/SCV

JSS-- Just Some Stuff.


1. STAYING HOME-- Did not go anywhere the last three days, Wed-Fri,and didn't even go outside Thursday and Friday because of the extreme cold and to top that, I had my own cold. I had three newspapers half-covered by snow this morning when I finally went out. Definitely a hard winter.


2. BIG-TIME COLD-- To say it's been C-O-L-D around here is an understatement. It never got over zero degrees Thursday, and yesterday morning, at 7:30, it was the coldest I've ever seen, at -19 degrees. And, that was not counting the wind chill. It did "warm" up to 2 degrees before it got cold again at night.

We had to bring all the pop in from the garage (some of it had already frozen) and we've been closing all the blinds at night to conserve a little heat. Definitely a HARD winter.


3. HISTORICAL SOCIETY/SCV-- My cold was better today and it was windy, but around 15 degrees, so ventured out to get those papers, the mail, and a meeting at the Fox Lake Historical Society where we heard about the Chamber of Commerce's Centennial Celebration plans. They are trying to compile a list of all business in the village both today and in the past.

In a bit, I head out for the Camp Douglas Sons of Confederate Veterans Lee-Jackson Dinner in Northbrook. Always enjoy seeing the expressions on the other people's faces in the place when they see all that Confederate Gray.
