Brigitte Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Please do not let that fuzzy creature see his shadow.....pretty please. I am not tolerating winter very well this year and it really hasn't been that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen sn Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Loved that movie. Now I'm off to search for a nice bit of info and turn it into a homeschool thang. At what time do they do the groundhog shadow? Edited February 2, 2009 by Karen sn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It was filmed in Woodstock, IL. We lived in Cary--about 30 minutes south. MOST of the kids who were extras were homeschooled. The guy in the trenchcoat every morning down town--yep--he and his sister were homeschooled (he was in college at the time)! I gave his mother quilting lessons... In the diner there is a family--all kids homeschooled! The Dad was my pastor at the time--I tutored his kids (sewing and math). Many of the extras were members of our little church. The first time I saw the movie I could not concentrate on what was going on--too many faces we knew... The second time around I paid more attention... I was tempted to audition as an extra--but middle dd had just been born and was VERY sick (preemie who caught RSV). I think the pay was about $75 a day just to hang around the set in case you were 'needed' and more if they actually used you. ALL of the snow was artificial. Luck had it that we did not get our first real 'snowfall' until right AFTER they stopped filming. It was cold outside though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my mom's birthday, too! She celebrates all minor holidays, St. Urho's Day included, and I believe it's due to her birthday being on Groundhog Day.

hillfarm Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 For cute Groundhog cupcakes, make chocolate cupcakes, frost with chocolate frosting, crumble chocolate cookies on the top (Oreos, chocolate animal crackers, etc.), then take a Nutter Butter peanut shaped cookie and dot two frosting eyes on the top half and shove the bottom half into the cupcake. Looks like a groundhog peering up from a burrow! Can you tell we have been cooped up all last week with the ice storm? I'm going a little stir crazy!

elise1mds Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I love Groundhog Day, but I SO hope winter is over early this year. I hate being cold so very, very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't even *had* winter here in Central Texas.:glare: If our winter has been so mild, does that mean that summer will be mild, or will it be hotter than blazes???

It might mean your yard will be overrun with bugs and critters come spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 My birthday too. I always thought it would be kind of fun to repeat the day over and over...:) Although I would probably go crazy from all the "Did you see your shadow yet?" jokes.
