WE made it home. bucked some winds all the way and had a few icy patches, but H is a great driver so we had no problems what so ever. Had a good time at the fund raiser but it felt good to get home, too. Nascar qualifiying is on, so we had some lunch and hunkered in to watch. I am sure that we will need to go to the park today at some point. It is a much balmier ZERO degrees here than the -13 when we left Faribault this morning. The wind also seems to be a bit calmer here too. We learned the the neighbor across the street is moving. She has put in a lot of elbow grease in over there that it seems like a waste, but it is too big for her and her daughter... And who knows what this housing market is going to do. Sioux Falls isn't hit as hard as a lot of places, but there is still a swak of foreclosures, I am sure. well, I need to get some things done around here. have a great day.
