HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011

I have been very lazy with this Blog lately and my New Years Resolution is to keep it up better.
It is a very cold snowy day in Cody, Wyoming. We usually don't get the snow and weather other parts do and this is bad enough for me. Maybe 4 inchs on the ground. Very dry powdery stuff.

Merry Christmas
