Stan's sister Sosie stepped out on her back patio in sunny Sunol, (east of Frisco) California yesterday while husband Bill snapped this photo.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, we got dumped with a half a foot of the stuff, blowing and drifting snow and subzero windchills on the way. The blizzard kept our granddaughter away until Friday. But that's no big deal, that's business as usual. This California thing, however. . .
