Surviving Winter

Jane and I decided to end 2008 on a perfect note...by spending it with three of our grandchildren (the other two were in Florida with their parents). We went to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to watch the butterflies. It was wonderfully warm and tropical inside. The perfect antidote to the below freezing temperatures outside. The grandkids loved watching the butterflies and playing in the water features... and the adults had lots of fun watching the kids. It was the perfect end to a fantastic year!
