PS to Capt. Deb - love the new picture of you and the pirate dog  ;D


That's me Sadie Lady. Purves's Sadie St John is her AKC name. All this talk of hats inspired me to post this new avatar pic.  Alas the little dear has outgrown her jolly roger chapeau.  She now weighs 85 pounds (was 11 pounds when this photo was taken!)

Steve must have known that we were still going to get another snow here in the Texas Panhandle!!  We are under a Blizzard Warning (even though it is 70 now).  We have a 100% chance of snow starting tonight and thru tomorrow and then the raging wind too!!  I am SO glad I have a nice, warm hat to wear!! ;D

Snow? In Texas??   :o

It's in our forecast for Sunday, but snow is pretty routine for Chicago in March (unfortunately).

I'm hoping we won't get enough to shovel.  I am SO done with shoveling  :P

Glad I have a nice warm hat to wear, too!

Sounds like I may have to send Pooter a hat too. I am sending one to Deb; maybe the puppy can wear it if it doesn't suit her. And I have noted that Michelle likes the Cranberry red.  ;)

They have already cancelled school here for tomorrow - I grew up here and my parents taught here for 30+ years and I don't know of this EVER happening!!  I was taking Kendie to (outdoor) soccer practice when we found out!!  We were at a park with about 100 other kids - seriously!  It was 66 when I was coming home from the pracitce!  WILD!!  Messed up the our Easter plans but we still will go to Houston - the girlies will just missed the day that we would have had out (built in "snow day").  Instead of using the one in MAY, they chose to make us make it up in a week - GREAT notice!!

Here are the pictures of the hat in action!  Thanks, Steve for helping keep my head warm!! ;D  I think the last one is pretty centered for a self portrait!  I will have more of the girlies up on my blog later!

Kay:  You're an 'angel in the snow.'   I don't get to do that in Florida,  but it sure brought back memories as a kid in NY.
The hat is the perfect color ! !   Thank you for sharing your pictures.

Always good thoughts,  Nancy
