if you can believe it...we had SNOW this morning....its was SNOWING in IRAQ! It is not unusual for it snow further north of where I am - but it is NOT a common occurence this far south. Granted - it is not accumulating, but enough fell that someone made a little snowman with accumulated on the deck. The ground has a light coating - but good grief....From 130 degress this summer to snow! All it did was make me home sick!

Wow, what a trip for you, Mary! We've been having some crazy weather around here, too. I don't know if you have to wear all of the gear all the time that I see the solders wearing on TV, but I wonder how you could walk around in all that stuff! But it's got to be easier in the cold than in the terrible heat.

Wish I could wish you home, but I think I'll make a cake for you instead. Name your flavor of choice, and I'll go get the beaters greased and the stove fired up! How about a snowman cake?

You take care, and keep your head down.

WOW, bet everyone was surprised to see snow. Had the Iraqis ever even seen the white stuff?

Sorry it made you homesick but that's understandable. Do you have a date yet when you'll be heading home? Just know that you have many praying for you and your safety.

Wow, I would have never thought about snow there...I have never got to see a really big snow...we get dustings in Ala sometimes a few inches but it usually melts before you could get a full size snowman...

Hi Mary D. Thought you might like to know that the snowfall in Baghdad made the Fox news. When they were talking about it, I told hubby about you writing to tell us. He couldn't believe it. Our great nephew was there only a few months ago and the temperatures were, like you said, 130 and up.

Take care of yourself and stay safe.
