Desert Sky

We didn’t end up using the electric blanket.  Just adding a light throw to our bedcover was enough for a comfortably snuggly night.  One of the many perks of sharing a bed with a partner is the body heat it generates!

I had announced back on January 3^rd, a mere 8 days ago, that the “slugfest” was officially over.  I hate to admit it but we relapsed.  We haven’t been on a hike since last Saturday.  We spent the entire week sleeping in late and eating too much.  My only excuse (and a lame one at that) is that my mom & dad flew for a couple of weeks and we have been visiting with them almost every day.  We spend the time either talking or playing marathon games of Skipbo.  Neither one of those activities require much energy. 

After dropping the girls off for their weekend visit with their dad, we barbequed some hot dogs and kielbasa and then spent a couple of hours playing a board game.  Everyone was tired so we called it an early night and were back home by 9:30. 

It is supposed to get really cold tonight so we might end up putting on the furnace.  So far, we have been comfortably warm with just our fireplace and a small portable heater.
