Spunky, and those to follow! The sun's out!!! It looks like an early spring morning! We have a whole lot of snow, our driveway is starting to look tunnel-like. Hope everyone has a nice day with the weather they want.

Morning teluog and all to follow.
Very cold here, but sunny. 
So sick of the snow. We have about a foot and a half of snow on the ground now. 
Talk about being snow blind. 
It will take a long time for this snow to melt, but spring is coming!
When? I don't know. 
Hope everyone has a great Monday! Stay warm.

Re: Monday, February 12, 2018
BTW......
I never bored you guys with this story but here goes......true story.
I went to a fund raiser for Obama when he was running. It was at the Marriot in Brooklyn..me and my friend, Susan. So we get there and "they" had over-sold the event. You could feel the disappointment in the air....cut it with a knife. All of a sudden a black car pulls up and guess who gets out.....Obama himself. He apologized for the mishap and he promised to do the event and come back once over. He then disappeared into the black SUV.
Many left...many stayed and said, yeah sure. The crowd got smaller. But if you know me, you know I will wait out a slow thawing glacier.
So....in about an hour a black SUV pulls up and out comes Obama.....the crowd goes politely WILD!!!
And guess who got to shake his hand?
AND...... he is one handsome man! And a man of his word.

Wow zeke. That is an amazing story.
He really is a handsome man. I can't even imagine holding a conversation with him. He is so eloquent. 
I love that he apologized for the overbooking, said he'd be back, and he did!
He has such integrity.
Those were the days.

Wow zeke...what a great story! I really miss him...so decent! A man of his word!
I also agree with you about the portraits First lady Michelle's portrait doesn't really look like her, but it is beautiful and President Obama's portrait looks alot like him, but the background is too busy.
Thank you NE for posting these portraits for us...you're the best!
