How cold can it get?

Twenty-five, wind chill 10 degrees, gusty wind and down right miserably cold. Back from Mass, planning on bundling up and doing the back yard dog snicker toss into the back field. Still think I could enter the Olympics and place if they had a mole and dog snicker toss event.

We played 3 person Mexican Train yesterday. It worked out well, we ate, laughed, enjoyed the warmth of the fireplace and called it quits about 9:00pm. Used the new round 40" portable table. Plenty of room to line out all those dominoes.
Going to SLC this evening for a pre-lenten presentation by the Bishop on Penance. Then home to the "boys" and the warm fireplace. That is the highlight of each evening---contorting my body, stuffed in a recliner, unable to move due to dogs pressing in and vying for any/every free space... Never, have I felt so close nor loved by another earthly creature. It all comes down to nothing more than me being a source for their food supply and them having the run of the house. My life has basically gone to the dogs (and I love it!!!)
Stay warm, healthy, safe, and keep in touch.
Love, Mom
