IRENE & THE GROUNDHOG

groundhogToday is Groundhog Day. 

I had always called it Groundhogs Day, but in checking a little further, I find it is singular – Groundhog Day. 

I think the little fella just saw his shadow. Now what does that mean? Actually I don’t think it means anything. I always remember Groundhog Day though because it is also the birthday of my oldest long time friend. Irene is older than I am (I won’t say how much) and that is old. We have been friends since I was in the 6th grade (a long long long time). I was maid of honor at her wedding and she was my matron of honor two weeks later. That was way back in 1958. 

Here is a picture of us together in my car that I had just bought in 1956 (a 1952 Ford). I let her play like she was driving it. lol

    It means six more weeks of winter. However, the calendar says seven more weeks of winter. After all, what does a woodchuck know? I wish your aged friend a Happy Day today. lol

    Hi Charlotte,

    Nice picture of you and your friend in your car. I would have been able to spot you even if you hadn’t told us.

    I haven’t forgotten about Spiritual Sundays although I haven’t posted anything in several weeks. I will get back to it.

    Have a good week.

    I don’t know if it means anything or not, but it’s rained all day here. All any groundhog could see here is mud! Wonder what that’s supposed to mean – lol!
