Minnesotans

The boys and I bundled up and went out for a church dinner last night. It took us some time to appropriately dress seeing as how it was 3 degrees.

We arrived, and thankfully some friends took my children away from me while I sat and chatted with other folks. (I am seriously grateful to those in my "villiage" who help raise my kids, and who recognize that I need a break...)

There we were talking about the weather, and the woman says nonchalantly, "It's supposed to really get cold next week."
"So", I say taking a bite of my hotdish, "how long have you lived here?"
