My sister has often tried to convince me to relocate to Texas...

I don't think so!

 It’s 7° here and we’ve got several inches of snow on top of the ice, but we really, really wanted hot coffee. Still no power, no water, no heat. So much ugh.

It was decidedly more fun (and warmer!) on that patio in May of 2014 when we were roasting marshmallows over the fire pit to help Mom celebrate her birthday.
