Ok, CIB! I'll join your whine party! We are still in the middle of all of the remodelling, getting ready to put the house back on the market in spring. The house has layers upon layers of dust. If you take off a layer, the next layer shows up with in the hour. My Christmas tree looks like we sprayed it with snow. (Unfortunately, I know it's not snow)
We are getting away from the cold weather in January and going to visit my sister-in-law in Phoenix. However, we have since found out that she is planning to move back to Oregon, and my husband has volunteered us to help her. So we are going to help her fill a Uhaul and drive it up to Oregon at the beginning of February. So, our warm weather vacation is only going to be half of the time in the warm weather. The rest will be spent up in the cold Oregon weather like you, CIB.
