  17. Oh! Number 13 is sO true! But I'm ready for the PARTY! We were 64F today!!! Whooooo hooooooo! I was so excited I could hardly stand it! We do still have snow on the ground - but mostly it's just the remainders from the MOUNTAINS that the plows left! I think one more week and it will ALL be gone! YAY!
