SNOW??? What the heck!!! They're predicting 3-5" for the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex, some areas north of us have already gotten 6" - it's just crazy!!! It's just a blur of white outside - and sooo cold! The dogs are NOT liking it at all and we told them when they went outside "don't eat the yellow snow" and poor Storme... she's like "ummm... I'll just hold it thank you - it's too cold for my dainty paws!" - LOL Oh well... to everyone STAY WARM!! and a special THANKS to my sister, Misti, who I blame for this !!!!

I'm sure the Schou Family blog will post more pictures as well.. probably later tomorrow or soon - she is STILL working on getting internet in her part of the country living - LOL ...

If you click on the pictures they will take up the entire web browser screen - sorry they're a bit "green" but we're still in mourning over Brett!!!







dog prints in the snow...

It is with sadness I update my blog... it's official... Brett Favre has retired from the Green Bay Packers and NFL, today, March 4, 2008. From a statement given by the Green Bay Packers General Manager, Ted Thompson, who sums it so well.... "The uniqueness of Brett Favre - his personality, charisma and love of the game - undoubtedly will leave him as one of the enduring figures in NFL history."

James spent most of the afternoon at the following site... http://www.packers.com/history/brett_favre_tribute/

We all must admit, Brett was an incredible quarterback and role model and he will be sorely missed - though I can only imagine what is going through Aaron Rogers head at the moment... something like "oh crap.... I have some BIG shoes to fill"

With that out of the way - you should all check out the site above - some incredible stories, videos and photos.... but like Elvis sang... "I did it My Way"... which is exactly what Brett did, he left on a great season with some incredible records!

We will miss you Brett but as always.... GO PACK GO!!!

And this special posting of the "Shafer Zoo" is for my nephew, CJ... who just loves the Pugs!!
