we've been so blessed to have such a nice fall.. I just wish winter could be like that all year! No snow, no cold.. I could handle that easily! Especially after the non summer we got. Sigh.. I guess it's all over with now. Back to winter driving which I hate with a passion. Stress about road conditions all the time, shoveling snow and spending 20 minutes warming the car up in the morning. Come on 6/49! Let me move somewhere where they've never heard of snow lol!

Yes the kids might like the snow but some parents today are wimps when it comes to taking there kids outside to play. Oh yes most kids dont even walk to school anymore and have to adjust.
