Texas Snowman!

We may not have been able to go ski this year, but we still were able to get out our ski gear!

Shortly after taking this picture we decided to go out to the front of the house. We began walking the neighborhoods. We were the first outside, so we were the first to make snow tracks. The time was around 9am. Walking side by side, hand in hand, this moment in time, was peaceful. We heard nothing, no planes, no cars, no school buses. The view was peaceful too. You did not see any streets, no curbs, no sidewalks. I semi felt like I was in the country, but only semi, b/c the houses were to close together! My husband said at one point, that GOD sent us this snow, knowing we were not able to go ski this year. We both miss not being able to go ski, but next year will come fast as it always does. For now, I'm glad I was able to soak this moment in and enjoy it.

Super Freeze XLV

Hello all and good morning from DFW. Currently as the Green Bay Packers enter into the Cowboy stadium for media day, I'm sitting here wondering what they are thinking. I know both teams are used to this weather, but I wonder how locals are talking to them. One thought I have is I wonder why they think they are the only one's on the road! Anyways,
I wanted to give you 5 essential items you need for today.

1. A fantastic cup of coffee or hot chocolate
2. A blanket
3. Sweaters for your dogs
4. A great book
5. Food for the soul: My favorite is potato soup
