I have always kind of liked Mondays...First day of a new week, a little lift in my step as I do what I love, being a Realtor......Sundays CAN be fun, but I gotta tellya, a little sun would help once in awhile!! We need some bright/cheery days!..My cousin, who grew up in Iowa City lived in Seattle for many years, and now lives in rural Washington..(state) I once asked him about 'winter' in Seattle, and he said,,;'well it isn't as cold as Iowa City, but it is cloudy/rainy, dank, damp, and foggy the FIRST 300 DAYS of WINTER'.,,,,,,,,,,....Ha!!..NOT to worry, the sleepy /crabby ground hog did NOT see his shadow this year, so Spring is JUST around the (far) corner!...This melty snow is perfect for snowmen.. Back in the day in Old Coralville, down on 8th street in the old part of town, lived a giant army of SnowBall Experts....The names Seemuth, Kron, Vacik, Shaffer, Teeple, Lenoch, Anderson, etc, were synonymous with snowballs. WE threw 34.94 MILLION snow balls in our day...Honest to God, at the end of a good day with wet snow, my throwing arm would be so sore I could hardly lift it..I always had 2-3 pairs of brown jersey, cotton gloves every Winter. After a big snowball fight I would race into the house and put a pair on top of the water heater and get a new, dry pair, and go back outside. The inner liner of those gloves was died red, so our hands got red too!! For days!! We had snowball 'successes' and snowball 'failures'.... The failures involved windows, cars, kids,, the successes involved street lights, cars, other kids,,............almost the same.............WHAT kid didn't / doesn't throw snowballs, althought I gotta tell ya that you just don't see kids outside making snowmen, snow forts, throwing snowball, sledding, doing snow angels like you used to back in the day. Probably too cold for the little weenies, OR too busy playing on the computer etc.....MOST of these kids have NO CLUE on how to entertain themselves if they were not on the computer....Sign of the times....For me,, every once in awhile I yearn to make a perfect snowball and nail some car!!!
