Happy Birthday Poppa!!

Today is Poppa's birthday.  He decided he was going to be completely.....

.........lazy and take the whole day off!  So after a quick trip to the store for some water this morning, he moved out to the pool and read his book.  Brief stop for lunch, then......

....... he stopped to admire the lovely parcel he received from Mommy, Daddy, Munchie and Little Smiley - he loves nuts and was very pleased!  He took a few minutes to......

........ read a couple of e-mails he received - from Uncle David and another from Aunt Grumpy.  He had also received cards from home, in the mail, from Auntie Denise, Uncle David and Aunt Grumpy.  The phone rang a lot today.  He received phone calls from Gramps and Granny, Auntie Denise, Uncle Leonard, Mommy and Daddy and the little boys, Aunt Jeannie and Kev-Inn.  The folks from up north were complaining....

... about the blizzard that hit our region over the last couple of days.  Mommy took this picture out the front window where she works.  She was telling us that she got stuck twice that day trying to get home.  I don't think she was too impressed.  However, some people.....

... seemed to enjoy it, and perhaps others........

....... weren't quite sure whether they liked that cold or not - and weren't too sure about their hat either!  Mommy wanted me to explain that she found tiny fingerprints on the camera lens after she took the pictures - oops!  Anyway, Poppa explained to everyone that he hadn't gotten the snow blower out at all down here, and didn't seem to need winter coats and hats either.  I have more snow pictures, but this post belongs to the birthday boy!  We are going out for dinner on Tuesday, so we had supper here and then watched some TV - though I think maybe I heard little snoring noises coming from Poppa's part of the room?!? So.......... HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPPA!  We love you!
