My husband and I were both raised in Florida. He was born in
NJ and I was born in NC but we both moved to Florida as very young children. He
stayed in Florida for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. I went to
college in Tennessee and graduate school in North Carolina. I even spent my
first five years of teaching in Charlotte NC. I remember the excitement of snow
and I even enjoyed some of the winter clothes. However, with all that said neither of us like the cold. I really am a sandals and no
socks girl. On Face Book I have seen all of my old friends in snow and very
warm looking clothes. I have not been jealous. I do miss the fall but I am
really quite happy with the change of seasons in Florida. (hurricane, rainy and
tourist) I was reminded of my dislike for the cold this weekend. It started getting
cooler on Friday night. It was even cold enough to enjoy a fire outside.
Saturday was a little bit colder. Caroline’s swim lessons were canceled due to
the weather and we turned the heater on in the house and the car. I enjoyed
running and even enjoyed pulling out some long sleeve shirts for Caroline. However, Sunday we woke up to rain and 41 degrees outside and the enjoyment
faded. Our long anticipated Easter photo shoot was canceled, the birthday party
in the park was canceled and we Floridians went looking for anything inside to
do. As I was looking tonight for better
lotion for my skin because I could already feel it drying, I could not help but
laugh we really are spoiled and yes we do live in paradise. God Bless our Northern friends in the cold. Stay warm.
We found some fun in the "inside " playground
