Pretty in pink

David called; Kim has been accepted to law school!
She will start in the fall @ the same University Dave attends.

Next year after Dave graduates with a double masters, she wants to finish in Colorado. That will work for us; Denver is only a 20 hour drive!

I promise to post a current photo of Shelby tomorrow; this one is just pretty!
See you in the funny papers...or in cyberspace?

New Easter Frocks



Obviously it did not snow in Katie and Maddie’s part of the country. Pretty girls are sporting new frocks for Easter!

We will be busy replanting beans and other veggies the cold weather withered.
Shelby will come by to pick up her Easter goodie package and perhaps stay the night

Another Snowman


The old adage “If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes!" seems to be true, snow in Texas in April. First snow in two years….and it killed the butter beans. This came after a week of unseasonably warm temperatures. It has been like May in March and now March in April. Wonder what May will be like, August or April? I read an article when I first moved to Texas; the author claimed God made August in Texas so Texans would have a reason to leave the state. I have always maintained that since I'm not a Texan, I should leave in July and August.While my family in Seattle was basking in balmy weather; we were huddled in front of the wood burning stove!
The other snowman, from a few posts ago, is in Kuwait; he will be on the water and heading towards Australia on the 16th. He loves Australia, he says they are so much like us, I would guess it comes from our ancestors fleeing England, and/or being sent to penal colonies; we have a shared past.
