OMG Nicole! I can just imagine what that sounded like! What a glorious experience! (hehehe--hope you had an umbrella if you were under them!)

Hi Casey, I was about to comment that I was afraid that your puzzle would snow me under ... but some of the others would be really difficult, as well. Sue and I parted well over 40 years ago (she died just over ten years ago) ... but I remember that when we'd do a jigsaw puzzle together ... she'd find the right place for about nine pieces ... while I was finding it for about one. ole joyfuelled ... who can be anything else, at this time of year? Except folks who've suffered recent pain or loss.

Beautiful winter scene and an equally beautiful warm weather getaway!! I am just happy that we have had such mild temps so late into the year. These pictures are from a few years ago when we had a lot of snow and Fred was having a ball. I won't be sad if we get very little snow this winter. :)

Jim, what time of the year was the Key West photo taken? I plan to be there in late January. I did a bike ride today, paying my taxes, stopping at the post office, and then snapping a few pictures down town. It was 73 degrees when I got home. Love this kind of December weather.
