Good Morning Chris It is super cold here this morning, only 2 degrees. BURRRRRRRRR!! John and I were going to go to Erie but I don't know if you heard on the news or not but Erie got 54 inches of snow over a two day period and were expecting two more feet yesterday into today. They made history with the biggest snowfall in a two day period ever recorded in Pennsylvania. Needless to say we won't be going to Erie anytime soon!!! I am glad they got all that snow and we didn't!! We actually only got a dusting. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments in my journal. I am so thankful to have you as a friend as well. I am honored that you compare John and I to your Mom and Dad. Take care my friend and have a great Wednesday.. Love you--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
