Stormy's Z'Big Wrap Up!

Today's weather: Partly cloudy. High of 59 degrees. Freeze warning. Again. Sweet Gnome Gnuts. When's it gonna warm up around here?


Well, my friends, I've had a blast. I can't thank you enough for your continued support.

I hope we stay in touch. I hope we all get famous. That's what I'm shootin' for anyway. 

So, for my final day on the blog, here's a few shots that didn't make it under any other letter.



 And now, the end is near
 And so I face the final curtain
 My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this,
 

I did it my way.






Special thanks to everyone I used.

Stormy the Weather Gnome. Out.

    What a great way to end, with some Sinatra! Looks like Stormy has a lot of friends to keep him company until the next challenge.
