Another FReeper delayed by a phone call....;>)
We got between 4-6 inches (I haven't seen the news yet tonight) . . . the worst part is the ice beneath the snow; the roads are extremely treacherous! . . . I was VERY relieved when all members of my family FINALLY made it home safe and sound!
[BTW: I LOVED the photos . . . only your exceedingly handsome, 'soldierly' son could 'pull off' wearing those yellow tights -- WOW!]
Tongue firmly planted in cheek. :)
Yeah...........not too many guys could pull off masculine in yellow tights and a shiny green tunic, could they? LOL!
Sorry..I am late...but LOVE the pictures!!
I am so glad you included one of Barney. If I hadn't sworn off getting any more dogs...I would get one like him.
I am glad to read that you are going to get your eye fixed next month.
Please let us know in advance...so we won't worry if we don't "see" you around.
Do you know what kind of recuperation it will take?
Yep --- my adult children call at this time every day.
