Feb. 2nd... Groundhog Day, they say. Don't know where that tradition started or why. I just know that I don't believe that an animal who is too stupid to get out of the middle of the highway when a car is gonna crush it, is smart enough to predict the weather!
So, P. Phil (can't spell the name of that town in Pennsylvania where this groundhog lives) says there's going to be more winter. Well, heck, I could have told you that and I'm not a groundhog!
So, prepare yourselves if you are living in wintertime right now, don't pack up your coats and mittens just yet.
Speaking of snowflakes!
Shirley led a snowflake decorating class here at the Commons for about a dozen of us eager beavers!
We decorated snakeflake and frosty the snowman cookies. Every one had a great time. One participant ate all of his cookies after he decorated them! He left no evidence behind!
For those of you following my dental disasters!
I go Tuesday to have my bridge reglued, again!
UGH!
It doesn't matter what the groundhog says, we always have 6 more weeks of winter...
ReplyDeleteThe snowflake cookie decorating is so cute! That Shirley comes up with the best ideas.
I hope this next dentist appt goes well.
They sure are cute, even if not so smart. (:
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your dental visits! Those cookies are so pretty! What a good idea and so nice of your daughter also. I grew up 13 miles from Punxsy (We shorten the name as it is awful spelling it!) and the "celebration" only became a big thing after the movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray came out. There's a lot of drinking going on (I hear, I've never gone on Groundhog day) there. I have visited off-season and nearby towns do sell chocolate groundhog-shaped candy and I will eat that!. It's just a reason to have a winter celebration for the rural area. andrea
ReplyDeleteShirley thinks of such fun things for all of you:) She's a gem, isn't she? I don't think I've ever had a bridge reglued but to tell you the truth, I've had so much dental work done that I don't even know if I have a bridge but I'm pretty sure I do. I think I've heard my dentist or the hygienist mention it but who knows. Ha!
ReplyDeleteShirley is pretty creative, any cookie project is good for any age. Look for more extreme weather, although it's not global warming. There's a gradual pole shift going on.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look so good. Prayers and good wishes for this next step of dental issues.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies are really pretty. I probably would have eaten all of mine too! :) I agree with you about the groundhog telling the weather, oh my goodness, I see them alongside the highway and have seen a few hit on the roads.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you honey. All that dental work.
ReplyDeleteI've been through the same all last year .
I don't know about having more winter.
I was sitting on my deck and there were mosquitoes about!
I was in shock.
