Woo hoo! A weekend to call your own! I know you know about how we were brought up. I have to think that if I lived close to family once again, it would be the same, but, the key players are older or have passed... that in itself changes everything. Even if one of you took up the reigns, it is never the same, but, thankfully, we have made out own that my kids seem to feel like it is special.

I guess that is one of the things I hoped for, that I could give them a piece of what I had.

I use my heat when it gets cold too, but, I have a huge tolerance for cold. In fact, I like to be cooler and have run on the warm side for a long time. Not, that, silly. I am just always making heat. I blame it on all the exercise I get. Keeps my thermostat up. I don't like being cold but rarely am I. However, I do have one daughter that is perpetually cold, so we keep the heat boosted for her when she is home. I wouldn't want to live in an uncomfortable house, and so. But, the heat is never on when the house is sleeping. I have to say that the house holds heat really well, so it is enough. I am in agreement with what you said. As long as I can afford to be comfortable, I will be. I would like to think that all this working and saving will pay off. Ha!

It is FriYay! Whoop! Whoop! I am excited too and I don't have any firm plans yet! :)
