You know I ALWAYS wonder who stays connected to threads but I like to comment JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE so here goes:
* * *
Hi Sherran! :D Well they are saying -25c over the weekend...(and actually +1 for tomorrow? A chinook?) I dont blame you! Either place we'd better stay good and warm! Right? :)
*
Hi Paddy! Thank you! Don't I have a pretty backyard? I know yours is amazing, too! AS DOES SHERRAN!
Canada is so beautiful! We are very lucky to be here! Land of the free and home of the beaver! Hee hee! (Have you ever seen the, "OH CANADA, EH" show? It's so so funny!)
*
Hi Kitty. Yes! Folks in S. California had a mild 70+f today or better and I bet Florida was great, too. It's such a trade off! I don't mind the cold if we have the beauty. And we do! RIGHT?
*
You're so sweet Maria! Thanks and (((HUGS!)))
*
Jack...what are you smoking buddy? I dont have 'em...So I cat smoke 'em.
Whaaaaaaa!
Is that a cigar term? I will assume yes. In my youth I smoked cherry cigars for a time but I kept inhaling so had to stop! HA!
*
Hi Jeff! I love a good COMP so thank you for saying so! I try to do well in this area.
*
Thanks Toni! Very much!!!
*
Hi Ron! Your day is coming soon! The winter will be there and then after that JUNE WILL COME! YIPPEEEEEE!!! ROCKIES!!!!!
*
Thank you Mr. Tree. One word so well describes an image at times. You picked just the right one! :)
*
Michelle, I agree. Let's all go to HAWAII. :D What do you think?
*
Gord, I love the Rockies so much. Truly I miss living near the Ocean (San Francisco Bay Area) but MAN. These Rockies are spectacular aren't they? They make a person feel so humble and small. It's wonderful to be in their presence!
*
Thank you Bojan! I promise I will!
*
Hi Tammy! I hope you can come here and see the Rockies someday if you havent already!
*
Hi Mumj! YES! Skiing! Break a leg! Yeewhooooooo! SO LONG AS YOUR HOME MADE CHILI is waiting for us all when we get back. Are you sure you dont want to come too and drive the SNOW BUS???
WE NEED A GOOD DRIVER???!!!
*
Monnie, If Mumj drives the snow bus will you serve the cocoa?
Thank you all! I really enjoyed your comments very much!

Well John, believe it or not I live in a tree house 20 feet off the ground! Not a word of a lie. Everyone calls it the "birdhouse", actually. DBL whammy for me living in a cool place! Thanks for noticing. :D
*
Thanks Daniella!!!
*
Some day maybe SSSKiki?
*
Thank you Julianne! You live in a great place too! I miss the ocean, and your area is TOPS! (And FAMOUS!)
*
Hi Nancy! Isn't that FUNNY! I love to watch people freak over a little snow. Of course maybe if we were getting hit with one of their hurricanes we'd be freaking out as they would merely go to the cellar with their favorite board games! HA! I am semi retired so get to stay indoors in the winter, mostly. I enjoy the storms and fires. :)
*
Well, THANK YOU Steve! Brrr! That DOES sound cold! Bundle up and please drive carefully! Your area can get dangerous, too!
*
Robert! Dear Robert. Yes. 60. You poor thing. Better dig out your wet suit for survival purposes! HA! Too funny!
*
Keep saying that Renata and you will! I promise!
*
That would be awesome, Brother! I have a neglected guitar that stares at me daily. Ugh! How wonderful a thought of you and your family coming here! I hope you will!!!
*
Thank you all for your wonderful comments!

Joseph & Ujjwal and ALL OF YOU, you will LOVE Mumj (Nancyj's) cooking!! We have AAA Grade Rib Eye Beef in there with freshly dug Yellow and Red Potatos and white onions. She won't tell us what else she puts in there!! It's her secret!
We have Jeeps for every 4 people once we exit the snow bus...Hope that's okay!?

I am arriving LATE today! Mumj, thanks for the swell compliments! Do you really like this one best? I bet Tinkerbell would LOVE to fly and swoop up here! :D
*
Cathy, that sounds delightful! Actually many many Decembers of my life have been spent in Hawaii! I know JUST what it is like and it's wonderful! Enjoy your heaven!
*
Brace yourselves, Chrissy! It's on the way! Brrrrrr! -29c right now here with the wind. -18c otherwise. Dang, that's cold! Time to get Dale to build us a fire!
*
Tommy, I am behind too! I'll be along to visit you soon! :D Thanks for the gallery visit and your kind words on my work.
*
Mumj, we can get Dale to drive the Snow Bus so you can look out of the window to see the bear and moose and reindeer! Sound good? :D
Thanks very much guys!

IN WHAT YEAR WE DO NOT KNOW but so long as we get on the snow bus.
Speaking of which...WM! SO GLAD YOU GOT ON THE BUS! I saw you there fading in and out...We are all on the bus but different years. I actually got on board 40 years after you and the 69'ers...
Just one question. What color was it? #8197224
