You know it is cold in SC when....

Here is what happened:

Luke was napping under Ima's supervision while I took Riggs on a nice walk along the bike paths. It was a chilly day ("chilly" is the northern term for the temps. that day but the SC natives were calling it "frigid" - it was in the low 40s) and I did have gloves and a hat on but neither were a dire necessity. Anyway, along our route we came across an older lady presumably walking home from a friends house...she too was bundled in a jacket, a hat, and she was carrying some sort of large book...a coffee table book of sorts. The only reason I noticed the book was because she was carrying it in her oven mit clad hands!!! Apparently she is not accustomed to the "frigid" 40s and did not have the proper hand attire so she resorted to the next best thing...oven mits! Hysterical and very creative...they certainly served the purpose and they matched...resourceful and stylish.
