R2 Deep Freeze aka (R2D2 on Ice)

My daughter, Jennifer, was my best friend, and is still at the top of my list.  Jennifer would ride on my shoulders while I tilled the garden and while I used a push mower on our lawn.  I was raking the leaves on Fall, and buried her in the pile.  I called her Mom, and when she came out onto the back porch, I signaled Jennifer to pop up out of the leaves.  Jennifer laughed until she cried.

When she was around 5 years old, we got a pretty good snow in Pawnee. She loved to play in the snow in our yard, so I pulled her on the sled, had snowball fights (which she won, of course) and built a couple of snowmen (or women. I don't know how to tell which is which).  We built one, and then I decided to shovel the snow off of the sidewalk.  While I had the snow shovel, I shaved the snowman and made him square.  Star Wars was pretty popular at the time, so we named the square snowman, R2 DeepFreeze.
