I feel for you! I live in western Oklahoma, and have visited Arkansas now and then (always in the summer). As much as I dislike Oklahoma, I always came away thankful that I did not live in Arkanasas!! Oh the humidity was just horrid...absolutely beautiful country, but the summer weather is just awful. I guess we all have some sort of weather challenges? I very much dislike summer, being an extremely hot natured person, and Oklahoma has about six months of it. We reach 120 every year here, at least I cannot remember a year when we did not. I have been so thankful though, this years summer has gotten off to a slow start! This week has been delightfully cool and cloudy. A bit of tornado weather, but has not been near here this year. Colorado is the place I dream of...but alas my dear husband would freeze to death! :) And I have only been there in the summer...I love their summer temps, but am not familiar with their winters. Ta ta for now...Caitlin Lorraine
