Hi friends! Am having a great time here attending school functions with the two smart grandsons. The only grievance is the nasty cold weather! Used to around 90 degrees of heat in Madurai the temp here at 70s and lower is intolerable. With the heater on while indoors and geared up like eskimo while outdoors is the mode of my life here! The weather forecast says it will turn more chilly!!! :shaking: Daughter is amused saying this is strange for Los Angeles-the ideal place for senior citizens!

Yes, I am following the weather news, LV! My daughter says in the forthcoming days the scorching heat will make me yearn for this chill weather! I don't think I shall- 70 t0 75 degrees is not my cuppa!:-D
