I was looking forward to my first winter in 34 years, but I wasn't prepared for it. I admit, watching the snow fall on the mountains, listening to the wind howl, creating soups and stews were a lot of fun. The six major storms in 9 weeks took its toll. Unable to leave the house for days at a time, bundling up to go to bed, wanting to spend the days in front of a hot fire, and not having the urge to do anything but eat is not the way I want to spend my time.
When hubby suggested we head back to Florida for a few weeks I began to perk up.
