Fish Out of Water
Having recently returned from a trip to Utah, where it was so freezing, we found ourselves surprised by some of these things that were once so commonplace:
Our glasses fogging up when we walked into a warm room from outside.
A layer of salt on the car. I’ve never seen this slogan on a car wash sign here: A car wash a day keeps the salt away!
Scraping windshields.
Dirty, wet shoes piled up near the front door.
Warming up the car so it’s a decent temperature inside for driving around town.
When kids pass a pile of snow, they have to step in it!
Using the windshield wiper fluid and getting yourself a windshield covered with a thin layer of ice.
Hearing, “Mom, I can’t eat any more dinner, I ate too much snow.”
Complainers. 🙂 Jk…we’re glad you put up with it so we could see you. 🙂
Too funny! It always amazing me how we adjust to an area after living there for awhile. Now when it is 40 degrees I am FREEZING, but in Omaha it used to get to 40 below with the wind chill and that was “normal”. I love the comment about eating too much snow too!
Why do I forget what a huge temperature change it is from there to here? We sure did enjoy your visit though, it was beyond fun to be able to spend time with you! And Haven misses her theater partner, she has numerous plays she wants to put on, and no one to help her with them 😉
I am so excited about my trip to California on Fri. I can’t wait to be away from the snow. Sadly I will HAVE to come back to it.
