Happy Groundhog Day! Growing up in Sun Prairie has influenced me in many ways. Not the least of which is my annual excitement over February 2nd when Jimmy peaks his little head out of his burrow and predicts an early spring (if he doesn't see his shadow) or a long winter (if he is scared by his shadow and retreats into his burrow).
A few months ago, when the weather was just starting to turn cold, Gianna asked when Daddy was coming home. Trying to put things in terms she would understand, I explained that Daddy would be home in the spring. [Thanks (?) to Dora's Fairytale Land Adventure, I knew she understood winter turning into spring.] News on his actual return date is sketchy at best, but it seems that there's a good chance he'll be home to see the actual first day of spring. Now, if only I could get the Navy to use Jimmy's timetable!
P.S. Phil has nothing on Jimmy.
