Happy Snowy Easter Guys...

Believe it or not there are days when no matter how hard I try I just can't be pissed off.

Today's one of those days.

The kids and grand kids are here for our annual family Easter celebration at my niece's place later today.

About an hour ago (4:30 a.m.) as I was in the kitchen fixing coffee, 8-year-old Sofie appeared and was going on about seeing the biggest snowflakes she's ever seen in her life.

We both put on our coats and slipped on our shoes, Sofie put the leash on my little dog, Rosie and the three of us went for a little walk.

And now, well, now we're headed to the Daylight Donuts.

I may not have riches to pass on to my family so I try my best to pass along memories and hopefully this morning's walk in the snow will be one of those days Sofie remembers and tells her own grand kids about one day.

Oh, If you get a chance the following is a funny little story I found on Facebook I thought you might get a kick out of.

Happy Easter guys...
