Prena Thomas has the usual things in the freezer of her home in Lakeland, Fla. Vegetables, pancakes and fish, she told a Tampa television station.

But she also has a snowball that she made in 1977.

Thomas said that over the decades, she has never had a power outage that would destroy the cold hunk she says is precious to her.

"It's just like a little pet," she said.

However, she does sometimes take it out of the freezer, unwrap the bread bag that contains it and shows it to friends.

This lady lives in Florida? Why am I not surprised? :crazy: :happyface

:lol:

I guess saving the same snowball for 33 years makes her a flake doesn't it!

*rimshot* :rolleyes: :lol:

I'll be here all week. (don't forget to tip your waitress)

For some reason, I love the idea of this. It's berserk, to be sure, but there's something kind of childlike and sweet about it, too.

Me too. It's sweet. I wish she had some sappy love story to go with it. :lol:

Living in Florida, I'm surprised she's never had a power outage long enough to melt the snowball in thirty-three years, especially with all the hurricanes and tropical storms! :eek:
