Our happy family time !

When I was 5 years old, I would go to my friend Susie's stoop and we would play.  She lived in a 3 story building where all three floors were filled with her relatives. There were younger boys on the first floor that would also come out to play with us.  And two on the top floor.  Susie lived on the second floor.  As we got older the kids from the neighborhood seemed to be attracted to that stoop.  They would play baseball in the street and we would watch from that stoop.  Every day around 5:00 somewhere in the building, the mothers from the three floor and the grandmother that lived on the third floor would have cocktails.  During the nice weather, they would bring out chairs and have their drinks on the stoop.  What a great way to grow up.

Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch! Welcome to March 2019. We had an overnight snow to ring in the morning. Going to be a busy day tomorrow. Remember that January-Feburary is CLOSED now. 

 If you're 25 or younger and live within a large swath of the Midwest — from Minneapolis to Chicago — this week will feature the coldest temperatures of your life as a lobe of the polar vortex plunges south out of the Arctic.Why it matters: The frigid outbreak, which has already begun in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, will be life-threatening and disruptive for tens of millions of people this week. Wind chills on Wednesday morning in parts of Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota are likely to approach the minus 50s°F to minus 60s°F.

This topic is not just for the ladies, but you guys as well! My dad was very sentimental. He loved Abraham Lincoln. Everytime he read from Carl Sandburg's The War Years, he would cry about something from it. He would read and reread that book many times. He would make notes in the margins about his thoughts of that particular chapter. However, I'm sentimental about momentos. I can't throw anything away. For instance, if I have a theatre program from a date with my husband, I saved it. I save all greeting cards and amusement park tickets, programs, etc., etc. It's really getting ridiculous. I'm at the time in my life where I need to downsize and organize!What about you?

Due to timing issues I am making the change to NOVEMBER-DECEMBER early!
