George playing in the snow with his children. January, 1977.
I was going through some old pictures yesterday and came across the picture above. I’ve taken so much grief from Betsy about not liking snow that I thought I would post it in my own defense.
The picture was taken in January, 1977. (You can tell from the hair that it was taken many years ago!). At that time I was living in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Black Mountain is in the mountains of western North Carolina and is absolutely beautiful. We didn’t get much snow at all, so when it did snow it was quite an occasion.
The two children are my daughter Kelly (age 5) and son Bob (age 8). We had just finished making the snowman and were getting ready to welcome their mother when she came out to admire our work. (Bob always has had a tendency to overdo things!!).
We had lots of fun after that snowstorm. Perhaps my current dislike of snow has less to do with the snow and more to do with the increasing years. NAH — that’s not possible, is it?
