Aloha faithful readers,

With the abrupt onset of nasty, frigid temperatures, I sincerely hope you are finding ways to stay warm and cozy. I find myself huddled in my warmest clothes, under my heated blanket helping my kids through their online coursework. Online public schools in Minnesota – I am a huge fan!! Temperatures in our area have not gone above 30 degrees Fahrenheit since the beginning of January except for 2 days in February.
