"Growing up in a place that has winter, you learn to avoid self-pity. Winter is not a personal experience, everybody else is as cold as you, so you shouldn't complain about it too much. You learn this as a kid, coming home crying from the cold, and Mother looks down and says, "It's only a little frostbite. You're okay." And thus you learn to be okay. What's done is done. Get over it. Drink your coffee. It's not the best you'll ever get but it's good enough." -Garrison Keillor

I am so fortunate to have such a beautiful granddaughter!
oh my! It's "good" to see what we're missing. Gorgeous snow!
Hi Grandma!
Gracie - Hopefully you won't miss it all...
The other option is to go to Florida with the herd at spring break :)!
Cool snow! too bad my country doesn't have snow. (Who invented snow anyway?)
Hi Roadcrosser- You would love the snow here. Thanks for the poems - you are such a good poet!
