Brrrr!

Many parts of our country are having a rough winter. For the most part, it doesn’t seem to be as bad as last winter, at least not for our part of the country, but last week Florida was the only contiguous state without snow. I don’t particularly like the cold, although I don’t hate it. I find myself being irritated with people who complain. People whose maximum amount of time spent outside amounts to the time it takes to walk from a warm building to a warm car. Granted some people have to shovel snow, I’m one of them, and it does get tiresome. I have little patience for all the complaining because I know where TB is and what the weather is like there. He does not have an inside job. He sleeps in an unheated building or on the ground. The wind can be strong and biting. It snowed there last week. As the photo shows, it wasn’t much, but if it’s cold enough to snow, it’s cold!

Another package arrived for TB with food that can be used when he goes on missions. Unfortunately, the box with the below 0 sleeping bag did not arrive, even though I sent it a week prior to the one he received. He needed the food, no doubt about that, but the sleeping bag would be so helpful when he’s out on missions and has to sleep on the ground. I haven’t told him the bag is on the way. For one thing, I want him to be surprised. Also, I think it would be a little disheartening to know it’s out there somewhere when you are facing a cold night without a sleeping bag.

He never complains, though. I admire that so much.
