And I will be back to visit when I can. But know that you could always come out an visit me in the dead of winter. You could get away for a week and thaw out.

My youngest son loves to snowmobile with his kids and go ice fishing. One of my daughters and grandson love to ski. But most of us who are of my vintage are here because we either were raised here or because family live here. Me...the only way I like ice and snow is to look at it through the window of my warm apartment, cup of hot chocolate in hand!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-75487941636110868322014-08-26T21:31:29.165-05:002014-08-26T21:31:29.165-05:00Rob...That's how I was raised.

I knew that no matter what happened, I could always go home, and that's what I've tried to teach my kids as well.<br /><br />All the forecasts I have heard so far talk about a bad winter.

The winters here are tougher on him every year, so I sure don't blame him for going where it is warm.

But here, temperatures have been known to get down past -30 in the winter and up to +100 in the summer. This summer has been pretty moderate, though. I guess I need to be thankful for that. Excessive heat makes me wilt, too!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-8528493075003551232014-08-26T14:51:46.657-05:002014-08-26T14:51:46.657-05:00I prefer the cooler weather - heat makes me wilt l...I prefer the cooler weather - heat makes me wilt lolDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-31239672346360308762014-08-26T14:50:03.121-05:002014-08-26T14:50:03.121-05:00Harry...My son lived in the Phoenix area around 20...Harry...My son lived in the Phoenix area around 20 years ago and he loved it.

I suppose it is all in where a person grows up and the memories one has of those times.<br /><br />Even though I am sad at his leaving, I will be fine. He has had some health issues in the past that will make the Arizona climate better for him than the climate of this frozen tundra. We will set up Skype accounts when he is settled and I'm sure he will come home now and then to visit. I will just miss the hugs.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-43403756496547270132014-08-26T12:46:44.799-05:002014-08-26T12:46:44.799-05:00Living in the South is good for old bones, but bad...Living in the South is good for old bones, but bad for the memories of those that played in the snow, enjoyed White Christmases and enjoyed the fresh, pleasant, cool breeze through the window on a Summer night. <br /><br />Well, now I'm sad for you feeling sad.
