What is the Sunday Salon?
The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
My younger son, Ben, has lived in Chicago for twelve years, but my husband and I have never dared to travel to Chicago during the cold months.
This year we decided to go for Thanksgiving.
My thoughts? It's cold. No, it's more than cold...And nothing stops my shivering.
How do you folks live in this?

I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things, three ways I practice being thankful today and every day.
I hope you will join the linkup for Sunday Salon below.
The cold of the upper Midwest is incredible! Thank you for being a host November Nonfiction. It was my first time participating and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you, on the coldest day in the winter, I can dress and stay warm. It is impossible to escape the searing heat (and getting hotter) you have to cope with in Texas. Give me Illinois any day. Their politics are better, too.
ReplyDeleteOof, I can't even imagine the cold; I complain about how cold it is here! My sister's in Texas for Thanksgiving with her fiancée's family, so she'll be better off, haha. Hope you've had a good Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI was worried when you said you were planning to wear a cape rather than a real coat. Chicago is the worst with the wind off the lake, and this weekend is increcible. I hope you do enjoy the reast of your tri
ReplyDeleteI haven’t been to that part of the world in winter but there are parts of Canada (happily not Vancouver) that also get very cold. I hope you have a great visit and a safe journey home.
