Mrsanborn,

Here's a summary, short and sweet:

Frog: Is full-time here till they croak (Plus what GG said)

Snowbird: Winters here

Snowflake: Gets here whene'r they can any ole' time o'year.

Glad you asked. It's your rite as a Villager to know.

In our neighborhood the "snowflakes are referred to as "butterflies". I guess migrating back and forth all year long.

A poster the other day referred to us as "Wrinklies." That one tickled me, too!

Wasn't the "Plunk your magic twanger froggie" on the show where they said "I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe. This is my dog Tide. He lives in here, too!" I'm pretty sure, between 2,000 of us we can pull this together!

OK, Gracie Girl, I'll cede that one to you! Wasn't it the Buster Brown Show on Saturday mornings? Afterthought...we actually had a restaurant here until recently called The Magic Twanger. Nobody had a clue but us old F#$%s.

I think it was Buster Brown who told Froggy to plunk his magic twanger. Buster Brown "lived in a shoe...." can't remember the rest of the jingle.
