That place is awesome. I went there with a group of friends quite a while ago. I took my boyfriend along. He is now my husband and we've been married 16 years. So it's been at least 18 years ago. Loved it!
Today is sort of dearie cloudy with little rain. We have a boat business living on the lake and despite the weather we had 4 rentals today. Last night I hosted a party for our Worship team from church (which I play percussions) I had 55 people. It was a potluck. But wore me out! I love having people over but need a new knee so haven't been able to do much but sit and do puzzles and enjoy people. My wonderful husband did hire a neighbor to help do most of my running but today I am glad for sitting. I love the beach, we go south to Alabama for the winters, we stay in Orange Beach right on the water. So relaxing!
Beautiful, the walkways to our beaches on the island are designed so that wheelchairs have access to the beach. So refreshing just sitting there and enjoying the refreshing sea air. However, not for me at this time of the year :)

We are in the high 90s (Fahrenheit) today. The humidity is high so sitting outside would not be a good place here in Missouri either. How low is your temp today?

Hi Judd - it went down to 7C or 44.6F last night and at the moment it is 18.7C or 65.66 - I know that sounds quite warm but I don't have central heating as my home was built about 1981 and is a steel frame house which holds in the heat and cold. I have a five fin oil heater and if I shut all the doors down the hallway, it warms it enough to be comfortable. Bear in mind at night in this temp it is quite cold without some sort of heat. However, once the bed is warm, it is comfortable for the night, just a bit cold when you have to get up lol. I know when I went to live in Canada for a couple of years and then down to Louisiana and Texas, eight years in all, everyone told me I would not last because of the cold in Canada. But everything there is geared up for the cold and I didn't feel it as much there as I did here. Everything is heated and I didn't spend too much time outdoors in the winter. Hugs.

Thanks for sharing with me. I totally understand the discomfort of being cold. As the years pass I find I do not tolerate extreme temperatures in either direction. I just have to start counting my blessings and things pop into perspective. Being a part of this jigsaw community is one of those blessings.

Hi judd, you are so right about this site. Some wonderful people on here. Yesterday morning I had my breakfast out at the back of my house where the sun was shining on the wall and it soon warmed me up. I love living here which I think is such a beautiful part of God's creation. Hugs.
