I would turn the radio on at the head of my bed hoping to hear schools were closed because of a snow day. During one snow day the boy across the street built an igloo without a top. I suggested he make furniture. He stared at me then decided it wasn't a bad idea. He dragged snow through the front door and made a couch which I immediately commandeered.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-55753799917830137652013-02-14T01:38:12.074+00:002013-02-14T01:38:12.074+00:00Awh, snowstorms!!

But I'm getting too old for such things. <br /><br />I don't have a shovel, but we have a superintendent here, and janitors...
