Snowstorm February 11, 2010



It just doesn't happen that often in Texas! Not like this anyway!
We received almost a foot of snow! Reports range from 10 to 12 inches, depending on where you live, but either way, it is a lot of snow for a bunch of folks who are only used to an occasional dusting or ice storm.
School is closed for two days now.
I even took a snow day from work.
Snowmen are being built all over the neighborhoods!

Here is what it looked like at my house!

Yay! What fun! We are still digging out here too, and more reported on the way. But that is normal for this time of year up here, so I'm celebrating this special joy with you, LIz!

Nice pictures. Like the new blog layout.

You might want to edit your post title unless you are predicting another snowstorm next year, 2011. Had to chuckle on that one as I'm sure you are now. :-)
Love,
Paula

LOL! Thanks, Paula...yes, it was the 11th of February that was on my mind! Corrected it as soon as I read your comment - and yes, with a chuckle!

How fun! My girls were a bit jealous when I told them it was snowing in 'north' Texas. ;)

I'd really love to share in your excitements but I've never seen snow. (sad).

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
