When I was a kid, my parents would very often visit my mother's sister Lois, who lived on a farm near Columbus, OIhio, about a 90-minute drive from Middletown. My dad's brother Jay had married Irene, the sister of Harold Clevenger, who married my mother's sister Lois, so he and my dad were close, and my dad liked spending a weekend helping with the farmwork - shades of his childhood in Appalachia - and my mother and Lois were like twins.

It is 25 degrees headed for 29 degrees.

The gist of all that earlier paragraph was that wen we visited, my brothers and I gad to share a double bed in a large 2nd floor bedroom with my cousins sleeping in a second double bed. The 2nd floor was neither insulated nor heated, so on really cold nights we bundled up under4 layers of blankets and quilts for warmth. The worst part of the morning was having to get out of bed and change from pajamas to our day clothes because the cold was really intense.

At the moment, I feel very much like that 12 year-old visiting my Aunt Lois. It's much more pleasant to stay buried in blankets and quilts than to pull them back and get dressed. The irony is, I have heat in the apartment, and when the outside temperature is in the high 30s, it's too hot in the apartment, but when the outside temperature is below 29 degrees F, it's an iceberg.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2025, 05:54:59 AM »

It's 14 degrees now, going all the way up to 29 today. We won't be back in the 30s for another few days, but when that comes, it'll feel like spring.

So, when the alarm rang this morning at 5:30, I turned off the alarm, crawled back into bed with the cats and thought about weinters at my Aunt Lois' farm in Columbus or my dad's mother's farm in Appalachia and thought I would stay in bed all day ratrher than get up and dress. When I finally decided it was time to make a move - there were cats to feed and possinly some fresh hell to face - it was nearly 7:30. And so I'm up.

DR Elmore, I'm always fascinated with your mentions of Appalachia.

Our backgrounds are similar, in that I was born and grew up in Columbus, with Appalachian roots on my mother's side, but yours was Kentucky and ours was the West Virginia Appalachia. But when my dad remarried some years after my mom died, his second wife had strong Kentucky Appalachian roots. I would have liked it if they had driven me down into and around her hometown territory which was somewhere directly south of Cincinnati, maybe 90 minutes away, but the timing for that never worked out.
