55 degrees....

Was I just dreaming of a warm spring day? Not quite--that was the actual temp in our house when we woke up yesterday morning. Now we are all about cutting costs, but not quite to that extent. Our furnace had broken down on us on a very cold February day in MN. Praise the Lord for gas fireplaces and friends with warm homes! Finally, by about 7:30pm, our furnace was running again. We spent most of the day in the basement with the fireplace running and a blanket covering the door. It was very actually very cozy, and we were lucky to be able to do that. Thanks to all of you who offered to open your home to us if we would have had another night without heat. We were thrilled to crawl into our own warm beds!
