This morning when we got up and looked outside we thought we were  back in Minnesota--it was sleeting with a temperature of 35 degrees.  Of course, our morning walk was canceled.

We ate breakfast, got cleaned up, and headed off to church where the big topic of conversation was the cold weather.  Following the service, we attended the potluck meal and then returned home.

Mary Ellen stopped in this afternoon and asked if we would host a movie night this evening since the weather was so lousy and everyone was tired of being inside all day plus we were also the only ones with a big TV and room enough for ten or so folks.  So at 6:30 p.m. five couples came to our place with their chairs and snacks to watch a Charlton Heston movie from 1953 that was filmed completely at Fort Clark.  It was fun to see what the fort looked like almost 60 years ago.  Once the movie was done, we sat around visiting for a while before everyone called it a night.  We decided to have another movie night and put Lloyd in charge of picking out the next movie.


It was coming on 10 p.m. by the time everyone left and so we decided to call it a day and head for bed.  The temperature never got above 36 degrees today, but warmer weather (highs in the 70's) is on tap by Tuesday.  I, for one, will be glad to see some sunny, warm weather again.
