You are back...or maybe I am back...Anyho...Sally!!! You are back...or maybe I am back...Anyhow its been great reading all your lovely post and catching up with you. ( you certianly won't find such wonderfully put together post at my blog...) What a fabulous vacation! <br>I really could relate to your dear husband freezing! I visited my sister in Minnesota and thought I would just freeze. They used the AC in the car ( I had on a sweatshirt and was shivering), in their homes and everywhere we went it was cold in the buildings. You see 70 degrees is HOT to them as they have minus 50 in the winter. I had just come from triple digit weather in the hot humid south. So 70 felt very cool to me!Tinahttp://morningstaracademy2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-47669227739769508352010-09-18T01:44:27.000-05:002010-09-18T01:44:27.000-05:00This sounds so wonderful!

As the temperatures here (North England) have plummeted the last few nights, I'm dreaming of living somewhere hot...<br>Thanks for sharing!<br>SarahSarahhttp://homeschoolblogger.com/members/franbles99/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-30770621356011429682010-09-18T06:33:52.000-05:002010-09-18T06:33:52.000-05:00That Tina...lol!Another lovely post my dear. I lo...That Tina...lol!<br><br>Another lovely post my dear. I love your photos and journal, I feel like I'm with you guys. ND sounds appealing with all the wide-open spaces, but I hear their gov. is hostile to homeschooling. Not a very welcome state for us homeschoolers. But, glad all went well. The family sounds lovely indeed. Oh, and is the Mt. Dew included in the $10 meal price?

They wanted the ac on in the car, and we were freezing! And I know all about -50. Well, more like -30. We lived in Alberta for a year, and that's COLD. If we had to live there again I think we would die. :)Sallyhttp://homeschoolblogger.com/members/diamondsintherough/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-32941604280369647062010-09-18T10:15:41.000-05:002010-09-18T10:15:41.000-05:00Oh Jane, you are right about ND being hostile to h...Oh Jane, you are right about ND being hostile to homeschooling. See what I mean about my delusion? lol<br><br>The Mountain Dew was not from Little Caesars.

You were in my neck of the woods! <br><br>I had to laugh at the comments about the weather. No.... I don't think 70 is hot. 70 is comfortable, 80 is warm, 85 is getting hot! <br><br>But I do love those wide open roads....<br><br>I didn't realize that others considered ND hostile to homeschoolers. I have many friends who homeschool in ND and I haven't heard any complaints. I'm actually on the MN side of the Red River. Minnesota is rather homeschool friendly.<br><br>My hubby is from CA and we're there and in AZ 1-2 a year. We were there in July. IT WAS HOT!! You have to agree that 115 is hot. And I was having hot flashes.... it wasn't a good combination. <br><br>Sorry I rambled on your blog... just consider me<br><br>Minnesota Nice ;)Browniehttp://www.tohearjoyandgladness.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-44186169296383510272010-09-19T14:33:20.000-05:002010-09-19T14:33:20.000-05:00Loved this post of your time with my sister and he...Loved this post of your time with my sister and her family in North Dakota! We live just 30 min. from them and I'm still bummed that we missed seeing you all! I happen to love ND myself. My husband is an Arizona boy and he tells everyone he knows that ND is a well kept secret. We affectionately refer to our state as the "Land of the Frozen Chosen". We jokingly say that our cold weather in winter just keeps the riff-raff out. So glad you enjoyed our state...the place that I call home...Sheryl Shafferhttp://www.beautifulforthee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134777892508885758.post-46073626609820631832010-09-20T06:19:57.000-05:002010-09-20T06:19:57.000-05:00Sally,ND sounds like a great place to vacation - I...Sally,<br>ND sounds like a great place to vacation - In August.
