@heathert, Ahhh...walking on the beach! How nice. It is chilly here. It was 29° (like -2 celcius) here this morning. We have been 'camping out' in a rental home that I own 7 hrs away from where I live. It is located in my hometown where I grew up. My long time tenant passed away this past Oct. so we took this opportunity to refurbish the place. I know I have no business doing this with all of the dust and fumes, but I can't help myself. I love to fix up places. I am exhausted right now, so we had a low key xmas. My hubby made a nice steak dinner for three (my daughter came over) and we had our gift exchange. Good stuff, too! I gave my chef hubby an All Clad 10" fry pan. He thought he had died and gone to heaven! He cooked our steaks in it tonight and reported it made all the difference in the world. It was fun!
