Hello! Are you trying to keep warm in your part of the country? Or maybe you/re preparing for the huge storm this weekend in the mid-Atlantic/Northeast? Not me. We're pretty much normal temps but, sadly, barely any snow. :(
If you get the snow, go play in it and think of me! ;)
I've got my son's birthday card to show you. A question and then an explanation...
Have you ever played "Punch Buggy" or "Slug Bug"?
My husband and I and one of our daughters went to Brazil last June to work with some of our missionaries. We had such a wonderful and blessed time!! Driving across/around Sao Paulo can literally take hours, so we played games in the van. There are LOTS of VW Beetles there. The Brazilian name is "Fusca." Sooooo... when we saw a Fusca, we'd yell "Fusca." (But we did not punch anyone!) We came home and when I saw a Beetle, I said it and we had to explain to the rest of the family about it. So we don't play Punch Buggy; we play Fusca now. My son is always on the lookout for them. It's become quite a joke and has taken on a life of it's own, so I used a yellow Fusca -actually 14 of them- on his card. (A yellow Fusca is worth 2 pts!)
Here it is...
We did have to tell him that he could NOT bring this card into the van as we drive and count these! LOL

What a great story and a wonderful card!. Sounds like he really liked it. It's such fun when you can take an experience and use it in your art. The big snow storm missed us but it could be headed your way. Expecting snow this weekend? Have a wonderful weekend.
Fabulously and so personally designed card for your son.
I didn't hear about Punch Buggy until I was an adult and was very glad that I hadn't. I was the youngest of four children and a woose. I would not have enjoyed that game at all.
Have a great weekend. Here in Atlantic Canada, we may be digging out before it is over.
Hugs,
