I spent Monday on the beach in Florida and then flew home Tuesday to cold rain and 47 degrees. It was hard to get warm even though the furnace was on. Fortunately, it is supposed to warm up here later in the week.

My 4 year old granddaughter gave me a marshmallow chick when I was saying goodbye. She was so cute. She is big enough now to understand we live far away and won't see her again for a while.
