Wow...where did January go???

I can't believe it's almost the end of January and I haven't posted anything. I had a wondeful visit to California to see "my kids". Christopher (14) and Charlotte (8) and I experience a weekend full of laughter and fun. They make everything worthwhile! Chris is about 5'8" and already towers over me. Charlotte is the "diva" of the family. She loves her acting, singing and dancing lessons and cannot be still for more than 2 minutes at a time. Amy and Zane are the perfect parents....nurturing but reigning in the excess. Don and I are blessed to have the family we have.

Okay...now I need to be serious and blog more often. I plan to put some great pictures of "my kids" on the blog very soon....maybe tomorrow?????

Texas Crazy........

No wonder we are all a little batty here in the great State of Texas .. our weather does it to us. Sunday we all prepared for the winter weather and it did arrive - sleet, icy conditions, temps that stayed below 32 all day. We hunkered down at home and ate soup. Tuesday was pretty nippy too but it did get to the high 30s and low 40s. Today was in the 70s and tomorrow will again be in the 80s. Did I mention the latter part of last week we had a record high of 84? We love living in Texas but the weather is just a little too erratic for two California people! Just had to vent a little about the veracity of the famous Texas adage .. if you don't like the weather, just wait for five minutes.

We are looking forward to a great year of sunny skies, fun trips and great times with our family and friends. I'm headed to California on the 16th to see "my kids" (Christopher 14 and Charlotte 8)...we'll celebrate our Christmas a little late. We'll go to movies, out to eat, play computer games and laugh! They are my pride and joy and I can't wait to see them.

Here's to 2009!

We had a lovely evening at Susan's. Great friends and wonderful food. I look forward to 2009 being a wonderful year, full of laughter, good health, friends and family. May it be peaceful and happy for you too!
