A foggy awakening

We got up this morning to be greeted by a light fog outside. It is supposed to warm up into the fifties today but be significantly colder on Tuesday and Wednesday. We are trying to get a bit of schooling done this morning and then some fun activity this afternoon. The kids have been great.
Last evening we started teaching them a new card game which we call Progressive but may also be called Michigan Rummy. At one point in a very slow start to understanding how it worked, Lydia said, "Am I the only one who understands this game?" We finally completed several hands and decided to quit in favor of the television. I suspect we will try this activity again before the week is out.

I still need to get to our storage unit and arrange for help to load all our stuff into a U-Haul truck, which we will be doing a week from now when the kids get back from their trip to Atlanta. They ran into some severe weather yesterday, probably in Kentucky where it rained very hard, and they were under a tornado threat for at least half an hour. They finally arrived in Atlanta and were glad to be there after the severe weather. We hope their week goes well and the trip home is not quite so exciting, weather wise. Happy travels.
