Good old Norman




Norman the Super Bowl Snowman update. He was built strong and tall last Sunday by his maker, Justin. He was the protector and friendly greeter to all who passed by. He gave a cheerful wave to everyone who looked his way. He was able to withstand wind and snow the first few days, but then the dreaded Goble Warming came our way.
At first we just thought he was on a diet and trying to slim down for any female snow-women who might look his way. But it just kept getting worse. He first lost his friendly, bright smile, and then his wave wasn’t as positive. He started getting tied and he was leaning to the back looking for support, none was found, and we knew then he wasn’t his happy self. Suddenly he became skin and wood. His arm was literally a skeleton form and he had no use for his hands anymore. He lost interest in his good looks and let his buttons fall off. Then the dreaded lost of sight took place sometime in the night along with his nose and eyebrows. He had some vision left but I knew it was only the matter of time before the elements would even take that. He now longer feared the cold and gave his hat way, hopefully to someone who needed it worse. Then Sunday arrived and he was truly in despair. He was looking to the sky for snow and support, after looking that direction for 24 hrs. or so, he finally gave up and lost his head. So as dust to dust or snow to snow he lives to be rebuilt by another great and dedicated snow builder on another day.
