Is everyone staying warm? It has been bitterly cold here in Wake Forest, NC this week and there is even a whisper of snow tomorrow. The last time this happened was 9 years ago. I will never forget! My son was born on January 12, I was ordered to bed for 6 weeks, my mother-in-law had to come help and we ended up getting 21 inches of snow. It wasn't predicted! The temps were the same as they are now and then, as is now, snow was only a whisper! Well see...
As for Wake Forest, NC? The events are lined up for the week and there are some interesting and educational venues for everyone!
