Missing winter...

It’s almost December but we still have very warm days here in the Philippines. Every day since I got here I would wish for U.S. weather. Jeff mentioned that it has been noticeably cold in Lakeview lately. Well, it’s wintertime there anyway. I think some places up in the north even get snowed already. It's perfect for people who want to experience ski vacations. I've never done it and I know Aspen is one of the great places to try it. I'd better stop thinking about snow and cold weather. It's pure torture considering how uncomfortable our Philippine weather here. It's hard to think and write with all the pounding noise in the background. Arrggghhh!!! Today is the feastday of our town and they are having disco a few blocks away from our apartment. We can clearly feel and hear the vibrations made by their sound system. God, I so miss the quiet town of Lakeview, Arkansas.
