Getting Ready for the Cold

Okay the birds are heading for the hills, the leaves are fleeing the trees, and the days are getting so short they're over before you know it. It is fall and cold weather is moving in fast and furious. I have usually used a heating pad on my bed during the cold months because even though our central heat works fine I just don't like even a little chill but I just found out about and I think I've found a new love. My mother-in-law always used electric blankets which is fine but I think the mattress pad would be so much better.
