This weekend, twice in two days we had what I like to call snowglobe snow. Big fluffy flakes that swirl and dance as they come down. When I posted my observation on Facebook, (not a very exciting status update, I know) my friend posted a link naming one of her ancestors as the inventor of the snow globe!
So today, for Kim, we honor Edwin Perzy. If you're ever in Vienna, check out the snow globe museum that was created from his old workshop. While the French contend that they truly invented the idea, no one can dispute that the Perzy family ran with it.

I love this! Thank you for sharing our family claim to fame! And next thing yanno, I suppose the French will take credit for Freedom Fries, too.
