Snow and Chilli

I do feel that the downs we've had here have been both painful and eye opening. It takes so little effort to keep things positive and for this wiki to be as it should be - a place of fun and friends and blushes and learning and, and, and.

Chilli, do not feel badly about not emailing. I have your address taped to my computer and I too have yet to send you a note.

White Christmas - brrrr - no thank you. I dislike that cold wet white stuff that you have to shovel off of sidewalks and driveways. (No offense directed at adorable puppies intended). I grew up in south Florida and much prefer warmth. My friends from college always lamented the non-snowy days of Atlanta, Georgia where we were at school. I used to tell them that the true Christmas scenery included palm trees and sand - not frozen water flakes. They didn't want a real Christmas they wanted Bing Crosby - They would lovingly and snarkily tell me to stop being a smart alek (not really the word they used) and we'd all laugh. To each his own.

When we were children, my sister and I bought my mother a statue by a Spanish artist, Lladro, it was a Don Quiote and she always called it "Donkey-shot"

Here's a photo of what he looked like.
