[Ordered it, also. Very exciting - love the CD cover!! This can only mean more TV sightings of our gorgeous Georgia man!!]

[It is still cold here - just adding more clothes, I refuse to turn up the heat. One good thing about living in this area, they do a great job of cleaning the roads on the big highways (which is what I take to work). I'm usually the slow one in the right lane though in this weather. I just let everyone else pass me by - some people make no adjustments for this weather, they are usually the ones in the ditch on the side of the road.My sons finally got home at 1am on Friday morning. It was a long day for them - 5 states in 11 hours! So glad they made it home safely.It's unbelievable to watch the news and see stories about the cold & snow in states like Florida & Georgia. That's our kind of weather. Stay safe everyone!!]

[We are getting the snow! It's been snowing steadily since last night and now we are getting lake effect snow from that big ole Lake Michigan. We are supposed to have 10-14 inches here in SE Wisc by the time it's done. I left work early today so I could drive home before it got dark. I hate driving with these conditions in the dark. They have just now starting to plow in my subdivision. My sons are headed home from Tucson, AZ today (of all days). They are flying thru Denver. Their Denver flight has already been cancelled & rescheduled twice. They are now going from Denver to Dallas to Chicago. Well if they get stuck in Dallas, they have an uncle who lives there and he already knows their plans. Hopefully they will get home tonight. Trying to stay warm - hope everyone else is warm & safe!]

[I love all of Alan's singing - old & new. On his early recordings, he was a great singer - but as he has matured and his voice has gotten more mellow, he has become one of the great vocalists. He knows how to get the most out of any song!!! Love it all!AND - he is one good-looking, sexy man!]

[It's been really cold here. Barely getting into the 20's during the days. Only three more day of work and I'm on vacation for two weeks!!! WOOHOO!! I should be ready for Christmas with the extra time next week. Of course, I'll work myself silly next week with wrapping, baking and cooking my usual Italilan feast. It's not so bad when you don't have to fit it around work, though.]
