I'm a BAAAAAAAAAD Man!

That was Jason's mantra during rehab, when he was working so hard toward his recovery. I found this quote by Muhammed Ali, which then hung in our kitchen for a long time. During my boring weekend, I found a picture of Ali, which I copied the quote onto. Jason, in all his humble modesty, looked at it and said, "It would look better if it was me in the picture." What can I say, it is his cocky attitude that has brought him this far!

The Last Snowman

This is the last of the snowmen for now. I put this one up because it it so unusual. It was a gift from Matty a couple of years ago for Christmas. It is made out of metal.

Let's Ski!

I'm not real fond of the shadows caused by the flash. I need to get some better lighting, so I can avoid the flash!

Matty's Snowman - Snow Me A Curve Ball

This snowman represents Matty, and his love for baseball. Unfortunately, the nose broke off, and sadly, this year, the bat broke too. It is sad because these are not available anymore.

Jason's Snowman - Reel Snowman

Jason is a fisherman. He has been since he was a little boy. We have several pictures of him holding fish that he caught. So, this snowman represents Jason. It is an "Ice Sculptures" snowman.

Ice Along Sugar Creek

Ice that accumulates along Sugar Creek, on Route 6, in Troy, Pennsylvania. This is an old photo. I don't think we've had enough sustained cold weather to produce ice like this.
