Where are you, Winter?

1You used to come and visit. Take 1973, in Charleston, SC:
Dad, The snowman, “Tiny”, our chihuahua, and me.
Then, in March 1980, also in Charleston:
From the left, my friend Karan Steinmeyer, me (yes, my foot is on my skateboard — don’t ask, I don’t know why!), and friend Patty Scofield.
1984, in Virginia:
Not much snow, but enough to make a snowman. (Oh, and Polaroid film!)
Jump forward to 2010:
Snow and ice. Brr!
We had our share of snow… a good 6-8 inches (which, for Virginia, is a good snowfall). But even that amount of snow could not…
…disturb Buddha from his contemplations. (This photo was when Buddha was at his original home in Norfolk, before he came to stay with me for a while — he’s currently on my hearth.)
Silver Blue, who is cursing this 60 and 70 degree weather at the end of January. I want my cold weather, I want my snow… to kill the bugs, and to make me appreciate the spring and summer more!!!
I miss this lady!

In 2007, my Grandma introduced me to the wonders of the Wii.
Grandma was a very good bowler back in the day, with an average in the mid-200s.
That year, she encouraged me to play… and play… and play…just one more game, John. It would be 2 in the morning, and we’re still at it.
Of course, after all that “throwing the ball” my arm (and shoulder) felt like it was falling off. Still, it’s due to her that I own a Wii, and in fact, I have her “Mii” on my station.
“I am with you, because you remember me.”
Yes, Grandma, you most certainly are.
Grandma and Miette (Mom’s teacup chihuahua). A little over a year later, Grandma would have moved on in the multiverse. I miss you, and love you.
