I apologize, but I am unable to share with you what I did for Playdate #2 at this time.

&nbsp;

My silence may seem pretty lame considering that this is only my 2nd entry of the year, but . . . .

&nbsp;

Playdate #2 involved the creation of a BIG and UNIQUE surprise for Romeo Mio.  And since Romeo Mio reads this blog . . . .

&nbsp;

Ahhhhhh.  <em>Now</em> you understand.  :-D

&nbsp;

In a couple of weeks, I am off to the French Alps to visit Romeo Mio at his winter abode.  We decided that we would celebrate our Christmas together at that time, and this is when I will present The Top Secret Surprise.  If it's o.k. with him, then I will reveal to you!

&nbsp;

In the meantime . . . .

&nbsp;

HELP!  I live in the desert.  Are you a snow dweller?  Share any and all of your cold-weather "must-haves" for me.  I'm compiling a list and heading over to REI.

&nbsp;

Merci, peeps!
