Spoke too soon!

Snow in Texas? In early December? You have to be kidding me....

Yes Virgina, it snowed in Texas. Actually the Panhandle and other parts of West Texas can get quite a bit of snow every year, not that it lasts that long. And the DFW area typically sees snow in some form or another a couple of times each winter, but that may as little as a couple of snow flurries, or actual accumulation.

So this week we have a cold front, with a slight potential for snow in some counties. Certainly didn't expect any this morning, but there it was, piling up on cars, lawns and rooftops. And to be sure, the skies have brightened up a bit and there is no visible evidence left, so if you missed it, you missed it. But here is what it looked like for all you non-believers!

Holiday season.

We are all over it this year! Decorations up, bulk of Christmas shopping done (that was actually easy since we aren't buying much this year!), and a great Thanksgiving!

Typically, the Christmas season is different down here in Texas than back home. T-shirt weather, toy runs with 50,000 motorcycles, green grass and trees with leaves still hanging on for dear life.

Work seems to have settled down a bit, as far as all the changes in the past year, we had a good fiscal year and folks seem to be in a bit better spirits. I still have quite a few vacation days to take so will take a couple of weeks over the Christmas break, but that may not be that easy, since my work office/computer is also my home office..... Discipline, that is it takes.

Anyway here's a shot of the front of the house. Of course after I took it we make some minor changes. Will update later but wanted to put something out there, so tis the Season!

Merry Christmas!
