The only time I miss NY is Christmas!
My Dad worked at NBC at 30 Rocefeller Plaza so we always had a great window view of the tree
Here we have a Christams Boat Parade, the boats are all decorated with lights and it sure is something to see!
Last year they had real snow at the Charlotte County Stadium but we never made it down there. A few years ago a friend brought us a cooler full for my son!
I've lived in Minnesota my entire life and I truly hate the winters. My grandparents came on the boat from southern Italy. I look like my Danish father, but I think I have my Italian Grandma's blood and love of milder climes. We have snow. It's snowing right now. And do you know how all that salt eats at your car? I'm sick of winter already. I would absolutely love a mild, nonsnow Christmas. But it will be bitter cold and icy, I'm sure. It always is.

To me favorite Jewel of de South: The ol' Cap'n's home port is in the Great Sea-farin' State of...Iowa?(!)
And, Scholartime, I loves to set up camp in them Wasatches. And the Deer Creeks. When I need to relax from me daily grind of pillagin' and plunderin', I like to go out and do the town(s)of Callao, Gold Hill, Ibapah, and all the rest. Avast!

Oh BTW - my son is dying to go on that ship. Gotta save my pennies so I can take him!

You changed your quote...you don't feel like screaming anymore? <smile>
Love that pic!

this *avast maties* talk reminds me ...
a pirate walked into a bar with a steering wheel stuck down his pants. "hey! what's that steering wheel doing in your pants?" asked the bartender.
the pirate said "yarrrr! it's driving me nuts!"
hey! my 4 yr old nephew told me that!

Here's the title:
The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
