Before we move on to more pressing matters, I thought I'd take a moment and show off my talent.  Yep, I have a talent. It may be my only one so enjoy!

Despite being well-seasoned, now that I live in 'snow country', I have never ever ever built a snowman.   Not now and certainly not in my childhood. Must be because I was too busy building sand castles. Didn't make much sense building a snowman at the beach.

Soooo, I done went and built me one. I is so proud.

Here he is in his natural surroundings, his home, if you will.  Mounds and mounds of snow surround him.

Here he is in MY natural surroundings.  Mounds and mounds of sunshiune and springtime greenery surround him.  Even he seems to like being away from the snow.

I taught him to drive ...

He hung on to the back bumper when I drove ...

He waited patiently for me to get home from work ...

He sunbathed a little ...

oh oh ...
