I'll be at Buzz Coffee this evening, 1139 Francis St, Longmont CO 80501.  Drop your items to me from 6pm to 7pm and I'll make sure they get to Melissa.

A boy in my son's kindergarten class had no winter coat this a.m. when it was 17 degrees out. I heard him telling his mom he was cold. He only had a sweater on. I know there are some other older kids in school showing up with no winter coats, either. This elementary school has 30% free lunch students, these families may not have any money for coats so if you have any sizes of kids coats, size 5 on up, I will pick up and donate to my elementary school asap! Thanks so much!

I took this video of my dog burying her bone.  This is her first winter and I don’t think she understands that snow melts.

I found it interesting that you can get a group of people together that do not know each other and watch as they begin to chat, with only one thing in common, having been or being a US Service Man/Woman.  Those that serve have a bond that just can't be shared with any other group.  It doesn't matter which Service someone was in, that bond that comes from being a Freedom Fighter crosses all branches and unites us.  You could not look around that restaurant without a feeling of such pride and camaraderie.

You have to give it up to Applebee's for opening their doors and extending such a great Thanks to each and every Vet.  May God bless each and every one of them.

Yes, almost. It got to 80 yesterday. A change in temps of about 60 degrees.

My head is spinning from the change. I guess it’s true what they say about Colorado. Don’t like the weather, just wait ten minutes and it’ll be different.

I have to say though that the sunshine is extremely welcome. I was concerned that we would come up here and miss the sun, but even when it was freezing butt cold the sun made it bearable.

I enjoy going out in the sun, lifting my face and having those rays just hit my face. What a great way to get energized.

So next week it’s supposed to be freezing butt cold again. I’m going to get a leg warmer to slide over that rod.

I took some pictures this morning.  The snow was fairly deep, above Emerson's belly.
