It's terrific to get an update from you - and frankly, it seems like you have been getting all of our snow. Make sure you keep it!

Thank you, Gato. I truly miss being here on a regular basis. So many good things and great beards happening.

Snow! That's something special this year! We all feel like it's Spring here in Europe..

Fantastic picture, and an awesome beard, of course! Hope your mother feels at home in her new living facility. Great to hear that she has a son who takes such good care of her!

Very best wishes for your and yours for 2016!

Thanks for the kind words, Rothenberger.

Speaking of snow, before Christmas it was waist deep around here, and I have pictures to prove it.

Didn't say WHOSE waist. But no matter, LEGO Sheriff Triibeard got right after it and had a pathway shoveled out in short (ahem) order.

Sorry about your mother, but you should be glad that you have the gift to have her soooo long with you! (Probably wrong english, but I hope you know what I mean).

Very very hammer pic of you... I am in the austrian mountains for skiing actually...but sun is shining and nearly no natural snow...sadly..so no snowbeard pic in sight).

Cheers

Thanks, Dirk. Your English is correct. We have been very blessed to live close and be close with her for many years. She is still glad to see us and be with us as often as possible, usually at least once in the morning on my way to work, and my wife stops by every afternoon. 

I would think that the Austrian Alps(?) would be beautiful even with man-made snow. I don't ski -- never have -- but I hear some of the best skiing is here in the Lake Tahoe area.

In a world of shorn faces, it is our privilege to offer those around us the exquisite opportunity to know a gentleman with a beard.
