A sad farewell to your microwave! Mine is old too, and slow, but I love it.

We're now in the fourth of our four hot months of the year, and I look forward to cooler weather.

No fires in the area, I hope?
I never look forward to cold weather. Not even this summer in the 130 degrees on the roof. Some day when I'm old and wearing a purple hat I'm going to move somewhere warm. Tahiti would be nice.

No fires this year (so far!).

What fun to imagine you in a purple straw hat, relaxing on a Tahitian beach.

Come to SoCal, honey. I just started wearing socks to bed night before last.

Some day I'm going to make it out there. There's lots of people I want to see. And I'm going to do it when it's warm there and cold here.

Come to Georgia. Winters are only just a tad nippy. You might need to zip up your jacket once in awhile. ;)

Condolences on the microwave. It can join our old B & W tv in appliance heaven.

I had thought I might move to Florida - I always enjoyed it when I went to visit my mom. But she's moved back up here now, so no reasons to visit, and I see how hard it's been for her to be so far away from her family for so many years. That's probably the main reason I've never moved out of Michigan. I just have to persuade all the people I am related to to come with me to a warm climate, and I'm off.

How are things? Long time since we've chatted

I'ave actually enjoyed the cooler weather here (it's probably not as cold overall as where you are). I just love warm days and cold nights..

RIP your microwave!

Last night it went down to 31. We had to put plastic over the (remains of the) garden so all those green tomatoes won't freeze. I had to scrape the car windows this morning. I spent a very uncomfortable night because I couldn't regulate the temperature properly - the bed was too warm and the air was too cold, and I couldn't figure out how to place blankets. (It's a heated waterbed) Well the other reason I couldn't sleep was the disastrous baseball game that didn't end until 1 am, but that's another story.
