It's Too Damn Cold

Apparently this is supposed to be one of the coldest winters on record. No bloody kidding I say! Why do we persist to live in place that is winter for more of the year than any other season? I yearn to return to the Dominican Republic and sit on the beautiful beach at Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus, soaking in the rays of the hot sun. Alas, all we have now are the pictures to warm our frozen hearts.

Did get to see in the New Year in good company and glad that my dad and Wendy were able to join us from South Africa.

Now though, mom is visiting from England and is cooking up a storm in our kitchen (even as I type). So much cooking in fact that we had to purchase a new freezer for the garage just to have place enough to keep all the food. Aaaaah, the foreseeable future looks bright!
