Minnesota Ice

There is a phrase in Minnesota - "Minnesota Nice", which describes people's personality here. However, the weather tends to drop a consonant. We had our first truly cold day today, and received the memorable line from T: "Mummy, what does 'sleet' mean?". I am hoping next week to organize a mums' field-trip to the Bloomington Coat place, for half-price clothing. It's about 60 miles away, and I am not sure I can cope for that distance without giving into temptation and earning myself another speeding ticket.

Tomorrow I am off out to the 'burbs to pick up a free barbecue (I got a crock-pot last week) and cauldron.

This is if we don't get snowed-in.
