A Peek at Winter

The weather in Texas changes often, with highs in the mid 70s over the weekend, however, today we got a peek at old man winter today. The high today was 38 with a low of 28. I have been walking everyday, so out I was for a 55 minute walk. The wind was not too bad today, and I layered my clothes, so I fared pretty good. We will get a little reprieve from the cold tomorrow as the forecast is for a high of 55. I hope to stay with my exercise daily. If I can make it through the winter peek, I think I am home free!

With Christmas right around the corner, I have a lot to do to be ready. I haven't put up my Christmas tree yet, but hope to in the next day or so. I have most shopping done, only a few items left. With a retirement budget, I have had to make major changes in my holiday spending. All the family will be here to celebrate on the 26th except for son in Afghanastan. We have been getting lots of pictures from him. He seems to be doing well. Son tells us that they expect the bad winter weather soon in the area. I am thankful for each safe day son and his soldiers have.
