Hello from Minnesota! No snow but plenty of cold. It’s -10 this morning and we are off! Winter is here and I just wish it would snow already. Especially since Christmas is just around the corner. Speaking of Christmas I did some of my shopping yesterday. We went to the Mall of America on the Saturday before Christmas and it wasn’t bad. Ok not when we went but by the time we left traffic was getting pretty bad. Now I just have a few gifts for my wife left and I’ll be all set. Plenty of time left though. There are still like six shopping days left. ya know. 😉
