I love the snowman and of course, the loon. Thank you for the Find A Grave link. I need to look in to that. So glad you got answers to your questions about Far Guy's port problem. Sorry you had plumbing problems but so glad you had people you could call. It's been cold here too. I finally got new tires on my car in between ice and rain storms.
