Great job, Anderson Family! There is magic in snow, I think. Do you remember the "Big Snow" of '68? It dumped about 4' in Springfield, and nobody had to go to work except for Mom, because she was a nurse, and they had the National Guard jeep come and pick her up. (That's when I realized that her job was VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.) The guy at the tv station on Blanton Heights got snowed in up there, so, we did have tv when the power was on. I was 10 and you were 3 or 4. Anyway, no dads had to go to work and we all got together and had potlucks and they pulled us kids on sleds to the little store (The Rainbow Market), but we had to walk on the way back because the sleds were filled with supplies and beer. The Christmas lights were still up outside and they made the snow glow with soft color. I'm 49 and I still remember most of that time ... I know that your boy and girls will remember the igloo village forever, and also how it helped everybody in the neighborhood get together. You guys make me happy.<BR/>Love, Anon.

I'll have to remember that if my neighborhood ever gets snow that sticks instead of just blowing away.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638857079865671979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145488929536590651.post-18355396991042378412008-01-07T09:33:00.000-08:002008-01-07T09:33:00.000-08:00Can I come over and play in your igloo?

How can we remain in our cynical, closed-off worlds when people like you are pulling us together, working toward a common goal and actually having fun doing it? Golly, Beav, you'd think it was 1950 again... Great job, Julie! 8^>Elise Michaels Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360540188671140965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145488929536590651.post-73497606781755937072008-01-06T19:25:00.000-08:002008-01-06T19:25:00.000-08:00Great story!
