Yes, you guys down South have got a lot going for you! Up here the summer is hot and short, maybe 4 months at the most. The rest of the year can be a long, extended winter....
And what would folk do without their lotion, eh? Almost like coffee, part of some ppl's staple diet...! (You do have to keep an eye on the effect of the sun on your skin ink, because of fading, but it ought not to be too big a deal.) I guess the various Lotion Corporations Inc. have gotten most of their stockholders living on or near the Gulf Coast, Florida, and Cali....
Yes, you're right about cazy winters; and you know, Upstate NY, to the south of us, sometimes has even more snow than we do: the Lake effect, and so forth. Buffalo has got the effects of both Lakes Erie and Ontario.
Yes my husband often jokes that we should buy stock into the sun screen business b/c we are making them rich. My general policy is having a bottle in my car, his truck, my purse, bottles setting on front and back porch and whenever the kids go over to some one else's house to play a bottle of sunscreen goes as well! The kids both already had burns this year in April b/c I was not diligent enough. Both children burn easier than I do and get very sick when they burn. But as long as I am diligent with the lotion we all do well in the heat
.
And I can honestly say that I do not miss those winters. On occasion though I will miss that first snow, that first BIG snow that covers so much and seeing it before the shovels and plows come out is quite beautiful! It shows how beautifully God can paint, well in my eyes anyway. But I much prefer being able to enjoy his work of art while not shivering
! So I will stick with watching him paint the sky pink and purple on a Spring day, it is just as pretty and just as glorious of him, I can simply appreciate the beauty a little better when I am warm.
