This week we saw the gamut of weather with lots of rain, wind and now very cold temperatures.  I live in the southwest because I don’t like cold weather, so days when it’s rather cold and windy I don’t enjoy going out.  (Don’t even ask what the temperature was, it doesn’t matter, it just feels [...]

Once again Karen has asked me to sit in for her as a blogger as she is doing something else.  I feel very privileged to be invited back here to The View from My Chair.
I don’t have the same view, my view is that of a 6′4″ man.  Been this tall for 53 years, ever [...]
