Groundhog Day

It's Groundhog Day!-- again

Today I always think of my Dad and always get a phone call from him wishing me a happy Groundhog Day. It is a day I look foward to because it is such a silly tradition that it is something I will never forget. A few years ago when my mom was out of town on Groundhog Day, my dad made a centerpiece for the table out of the stuffed animal (groundhog) Collette and I gave him and the movie. Isn't that just the cutest thing you have ever heard? Groundhog Day is Dad's favorite movie, but more than that it is a silly day in the middle of the hellish winter that you can think, oh - some day winter will be over. Today the groundhog saw a shadow and there will be 6 more weeks of winter.
