Christmas in Michigan

We arrived in Michigan on the twenty third of December and immediately felt the cold as we stepped out of the car. It took two full days before all of the parts of my body got warm at the same time. It seemed as if some part was always cold. I am just not used to the cold anymore. It is hard for me to believe that I used to love winter in Michigan. I would go ice fishing and cross country skiing almost every weekend while I lived here. It doesn't interest me anymore.
It snowed three or four inches today. We were staying at my step son's house out in the country. There is no doubt that the snow is beautiful gently covering the landscape but it is best viewed through thermopane windows.
We leave for home tomorrow. It will be good to be back in Virginia where the sun shines a lot more than it does in Michigan in the winter. Oh yes...It is considerably warmer there also!
