There is nothing more satisfying than walking into a warm house when the temperature is 30 degrees outside
A few years ago, my son Jason decided that he wanted to move to Spokane Washington. I wasn’t fully on board with his decision because it is so far from home. We live in the Southeast region of the country so getting to where he lives is not easy. In fact, most flights to Spokane from where we live are connecting flights with a couple of hours of layover time in between. Jason loves to travel, and he is an outdoorsy person, so I understand why he moved to Spokane. That area is known for hiking, their mountain terrain, waterfalls, and rivers, which is perfect for Jason because he loves to hike and explore new places. Last year, Jason invited me and his dad to visit him in Spokane. I was looking forward to seeing him, but I was not looking forward to the travel time. It took us 9 hours to get to Spokane from where we live. But I must admit the city was beautiful and we had a great time. It was the middle of Winter when we got there, and it was brutally cold. So, we had to dress in lots of layers of clothing. Thankfully, Jason has a smart programmable thermostat in his home, so each day when we returned from sightseeing, his apartment was nice and warm. He was able to program the thermostat to turn on 30 minutes before we arrived back at his house. There is nothing more satisfying than walking into a warm house when the temperature is 30 degrees outside. If I lived in this area, I would invest in a thermostat like that because it would be my only saving grace from the brutal cold.
