Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy Face a Cold Day

~ John W. Howell

 

“Hey, dad. What’s the temp like out there?”

“Right now, it’s 47 (8.33 C) degrees. Looks like a high of 49 (9.44 C ).”

“What do you think, Lucy. Play outside?”

“You nuts, Little One? I need 60 (15.5 C) degrees before I go out there.”

“I agree. Gonna take this old lap.”

“I think you are making the right move.”

“You going to nap some more?”

“Yeah. Let me just rest my eyes.”

“How about a game of calamari?”

“Maybe in a few minutes.”

“You two need to get some exercise.”

“Who us?”

“Yeah, you.”

Geez, Mom. That’s a little harsh. It gives me a body image challenge.”

“From where I sit, Lucy, I think mom has a point.”

“Okay, that’s it. You have to the count of three to grab that squid and run for your life.”

    1. We even get freezing temps. Who knew a four hour drive had such different weather. Where we used to live, (On the Gulf coast) is a good ten degrees warmer except in the summer. Then because of the Gulf, ten degrees cooler.

      1. I’ve seen that in some of your Thursday posts and ADORE it. I think clown fish are fun in general (I spent decades as a tropical fish hobbyist), but your plush clown fish has star quality 🙂

  19. Cold… it is so relative, isn’t it? Of course, the girls are used to much warmer climes. Zeke, of course, is a whole ‘nother beast and can’t be compared. He has to drag ME out to play…

  21. John, the girls are making a whole lot of sense today — cold is cold. Have they asked you to buy them a treadmill yet so they can keep in shape inside? By the way, I love your watch and am especially impressed you’ve got the Dow report on there!

    1. They have not asked for a treadmill. Yes I love the Apple watch. It has the high, low and present temps. Alos keeps track of my exercise and calorie burn and has about 50 other things that I can call up like body temperature and heartrate. I love it.

  24. The girls are wise. I checked out the weather this morning and it was too cold to go for my walk – in the 50s. (I’m a wimp.) You were lucky to have Twiggy keep you warm. I am ready for warmer weather. The live oak trees are losing their leaves so spring is coming.

  29. Ha! That was a fun visit with the girls, John. Lucy had the right idea, and that’s about how I felt yesterday. Where was my sunshine? It was cold, gray, and windy, plus 60% humidity in a place where half that much is considered extremely high. Today is looking like a repeat. Thanks for this bright spot. Hugs on the wing.
