Brrrrr!

It's been waaaaaay too cold here!  This weekend it's been down to the low 30's at night and only up to 40 during the day.  This is over 20 degrees below normal here!  This is the winter that just won't quit!

In spite of the weather, we've been able to see friends and relatives.  Friday night we went to Carrie's culinary school buffet which consisted of appetizers - MANY of them.  Very good!  We met Denny, Diane, Katie, and Jack there and had a great time visiting with them.  Jack sure is growing and a very cute baby!

Saturday was spent trying to stay warm and then spending the late afternoon and evening with KJ, Rob, and Jeff.  KJ fixed a ton of food and snacks as usual!  We got to meet their new dog, Cody, who is 13 weeks old.  Just a peanut!  We played games and got all caught up on news.  Here's Rob with Cody:

Sunday was spent at church, keeping warm, and then we got to meet up at Dave's place with him and Valentina.  Valentina was exhausted from a swimming club lock-in at the Y but we dragged her to a restaurant for supper.  It's so good to spend time with the kids and grandkids.

Today we're off to Sioux Falls to complete our residency changes.  Might as well do that since it's still cold out.  We're going to stop and visit Paul in Lake Crystal.

Retirement is feeling pretty real now that we're back in Minneapolis and STILL not working (while our friends still are)!
