It is freezing cold in Illinois! In the dictionary, next to the word cold, there is a picture of Illinois. At the moment, it’s 14 degrees, with winds gusting to 60 mile per hour, making the wind chill temp well below zero. Brrrr. I actually went outside in this because Dad and I had to go shopping. We actually saw people walking from the parking lot to the mall, wearing lightweight jackets that were unzipped and flapping in the wind. People here are crazy. Hearty…….but crazy.
