It will soon be a distant memory...

I know everyone is sick of winter and the snow but when we got dumped on during Spring Break I really thought is was beautiful. It won't be long before we are all cursing the heat and spring weather will be forgotten. I took a few pictures of the storm:







Of course we lost a big branch off this tree...

But really, how often can you get pictures of this?

The SpongeBob of my youth.......

Purely for the sake of replacing the previous photos on my blog post of one month ago (of which I am sick to death of looking at as my blog is my default home page), I post a photo of a character from a lifetime ago.......


--Yes, it's Gargamel. Sworn enemy of Papa Smurf and all the Smurflings. I had relegated Gargamel to the furthest recesses of my memory. He never surfaced, unlike the Sleestaks from Land of the Lost:



Sleestaks rocked. And let's face it, Will was hot, to those of us who had a six-year-old crush on him anyway.....

Back to Gargamel. I had completely forgotten about him until today, when an errant comment on someone's blog sent him rushing back into my cerebral cortex like the flush from a not-up-to-code toilet. This led me on a mental walk down memory lane: 6:00 a.m. Saturday mornings, when cartoons meant something. Where I sat, enveloped by a blanket, warm air from the heater vent creating a toasty bubble in which I baked. Classics like, Schoolhouse Rock, Bugs Bunny, H.R. Pufinstuf with Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters


Ahhhhh.........good times! Enjoy!
