Yup...more snow!!

It's snowing yet again...and winter hasn't even begun yet! The first real "winter" storm will be on Sunday...and it's supposed to sleet and rain! Go figure! I've been thinking lately about Christmas's when I was a kid...in the 50's. The best presents I ever got (in my youthful opinion) was a HUGE Christmas coloring book with a big box of crayons! The pictures in these old coloring books were very well done...Santa really looked like a Santa, not some grotesque cartoon....and homes were quaint. I have been looking around at coloring books and today...they just don't measure up! Have all the good artists all died? I have been using some old pix of the old Santa man in my painting....and find it as enjoyable as coloring all those hours in past Christmas's. And you KNOW there is nothing as pretty as a big box of new Crayolas!!! Almost hated to use them, they looked so good...almost! I also got nice dolls and skates and such...but give me a good coloring book and crayons and a warm wood stove fire any day!!
