SNOW in TEXAS!






Yes, you heard right. I can't believe it either, but it happened...finally happened. We woke to 3-4 inches of snow yesterday. For those of you not from this area, you have to understand that this just does NOT happen where we live. If the weathermen do say something related to the "S" word, they are in major trouble because the news station's phone lines will be busy all day. Honestly, they don't actually say "SNOW," but they say, "there is a slight possibility of the 's' word". Funny. Well anyway, their forecast was right on yesterday. However, they said that it would be just a light dusting, and that it would melt off by morning. Wrong! It didn't completely leave until 1:30 and we had a day full of making memories. The whole neighborhood was out by 6:15 a.m...children and adults, as well, all throwing snowballs and making snowmen! What a sight it was. We went through 4 changes of wet clothes, because you know we will all be sick, and so I have lots of extra laundry today. But, it was well worth it. Makes me miss the Chicago area even more. We will take 3-4 inches ANY time. There is a Santa after all!
