Posted in Around the House, Family on June 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »

We just don’t do anything halfway here, and the weather is no exception.  Last night, people all over the US of A were enjoying baseball or their favorite sitcom while WE were watching the weather. On every channel. Well, every local channel, that is.
