Name a picture (year) in today's review that was not taken in the U.P.

2002 was taken in DC

Christmas shopping season:
A fool and his money are soon parted,
but a fool and his credit card are always together

Some great snowy pictures today!

Very true, Gormfrog!

Great slideshow today! I don't even know which of those pictures I liked best. They were all Superior, though I did love the Superior decorations.

That is so very true, Gormfrog.

WE have a tree in Bootjack in the same shape, what we have observed is Pileated woodpeckers doing the work. They also have an awesome screech as the fly.

I also agree, Gormfrog. In my opinion, credit cards are one of the worst inventions for mankind.

Credit cards have the same effect as alcohol. Abuse either and you have a problem..........

RCW, that's what I was thinking....a pileated woodpecker being the culprit.

love all the pictures, especially the frosted berries.

i start putting money away in january for christmas shopping. the only person i have to shop for now is my sweetie, so not that much money has to be put away now.

Mickill, that brings back memories of the "Lay-A-Way" at the department stores and the "Christmas Club" at the banks. Wish you had more people to celebrate Christmas with. I do too. :(

Today is Finnish Indpendence Day. So take a hot sauna, roll in the snow, if you can find any, eat smoked sausages and drink vodka!

It's also "Hug A Miner Day" UP here. If you know one give him/her a big hug. I hugged one today.

Happy Independence Day to Finland, Jarmo! There will be a ball at
the Finnish Center in Farmington, Michigan this Saturday.

Congratulations, Nancyd! You and Charlie got up with the chickens this morning...or should I say 'turkeys'.;-)

3 years ago, today, we moved up here in a snowstorm and EVERYTHING was covered in snow. now it is no snow and everything is bare, NO snow. that will change pretty soon though.;O)
