Fuzzy Floater

(from January 8)

Who knew that Winnie the Pooh has embraced the life of a tuber!  Texas cousin surprised granddaughters with this puzzle that portrays the honey-loving bear floating in a tube.  They claim to have outgrown Winnie but did giggle at the idea of all the critters enjoying some of their favorite river activities.  Carrying an umbrella might be a good plan to prevent too much Texas sun on Minnesota skin. 

Shoveling the White Stuff

(from January 8)

This Texan knows how to get warm in Minnesota. Daughter and SIL actually hired someone to climb on their roof to remove some weighty snow, then felt guilty when he showed up on New Year's Eve as they were leaving for a party.  At least he was a Minnesotan. 

Hey, no snow on the photographer!
