RE: uh oh

LOL!!! That wouldn't have worked.  MIL loved cold weather.  Their place was
too remote to get a hotel, too.  We lived to tell about it and it wasn't as
if we were staying with their friends out there who were living in a tent
while they waited to finish building their house.  It WAS exceedingly cold,
though!

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)
