New England Home
My husband and I purchased an old home in Northern New York State from two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and I was concerned about the house’s lack of insulation. “If they could live here all those years, so can we!” my husband confidently declared. One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and we woke up to find interior walls covered with frost. My husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm. After a rather brief conversation, he hung up. “For the past 30 years,” he muttered, “they’ve gone to Florida for the winter.”
It Was So Cold That…
• Hitchhikers were holding up pictures of thumbs!
• When I dialed 911, a recorded message said to phone back in the spring!
• The optician was giving away free ice scrapers with every new pair of eyeglasses!
• Kids were using a new excuse to stay up late: “But Mom, my pjamas haven’t thawed out yet!”
• Politicians were sticking their hands in their own pockets!
• The squirrels in the park were throwing themselves at an electric fence!
• I chipped a tooth on my soup!
