SEVEN PLUS MORE INCHES OF SNOW IN 5 HOURS - It's 4:15pm ET now, and I've just gone back outside for a 2nd time to shovel. There was another 7-8" of snow in the areas I had already shoveled at 11:30am ET. I can't wait for this to end. I had to re-shovel the area in the back where the dogs go, too... I don't know how folks in Minnesota and Wisconsin do it! Maybe they all have snowmobiles. Here are photos of our air conditioner unit in the back of the house that shows the approximate 15 inches of snow we received so far, and Dolly running back to the house after a quick run out through the high snow!
WATCHED "THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS" on DVD- This is our FAVORITE Christmas special because it has the Cold Miser and Heat Miser in it! The Summary: Even Santa can suffer a case of the holiday blues. In this 1974 stop-motion holiday family favorite, a sparkly eyed Mrs. Claus (voiced by Shirley Booth) sings and tells about the year her hubby felt too weary and too unappreciated to prepare for his annual Christmas rounds. Mickey Rooney stars as the voice of Santa who travels incognito to Southtown in search of his reindeer, Vixen, and two well-meaning elves. Mrs. Santa sent them to find proof of Christmas spirit--but they've discovered only ambivalence about Santa's year off. Luckily, when Santa arrives and befriends a boy named Ignatius, spirits begin to lift rapidly. Adult fans of this cousin to the 1970 television special Santa Claus Is Coming to Town will remember it as the Heat and Snow Miser movie. Their vaudevillian theme songs, complete with trombone and piano riffs, are hard to forget!
