Turtle Stance

Good Morning from Toledo....Operation Dodge the Snowflakes is successfully still underway.  Must say that my arrival last night reminded me of a variety of issues one must deal with in five degree weather.  To explain a few.....


  • You must use the turtle stance while pumping gas....tuck and pump....that tuck of your head allows you to breath in warm air. 
  • Each time you leave your vehicle for an extended period of time, you have to take you laptop, camera, CDs, etc. with you.
  • Upon arriving exhausted, you can't jump into your jammies immediately for they have been in a freezing trunk....must allow time for warming up.  
  • You can't reach for your stash of gatorade for a sip, for its frozen solid from being in vehicle overnight.

Natalie has been a busy bee, thus far she has given two tennis lessons, a radio interview, a ProAm and practiced.  Today, she will practice and participate in another ProAm at noon.  Here is a picture of our gal hard at work:



We are looking forward to watching the Olympics.  The Opening Ceremonies were awesome, hats off to Russia.  Hopefully, the media will get more focused on the athletes and games.  For the security issues and problems with hotels, etc. .....important for sure.....should not be the focus.  The athletes have spent a lifetime preparing for this moment and that is what we ALL should be focused on.  Goooooooo USA....USA....USA....USA....USA....USA!

Time to put the layers on and prepare to head further north.  So far north, that Interstate 75 ends.  Which of course means, I've driven nearly it's entire length in the last month.  WeW!  Until I'm on the flip side of the boarder watching the lil yellow ball bounce....Love and Blessings....Sherry!
