Snowing in East Texas!

EAST TEXAS SNOWBALL!

**Jamie eating a Snowball**

He didn't really eat it! It's Wednesday night and the snow, yes I said snow, is coming down pretty heavily. AND, it's actually sticking! This is so cool! Or should I say COLD? The last heavy snow I can remember was probably in 1985. We have pictures of the boys and Jamie looks to be around 1 year old. It was a good snow and everything was covered. Before that, we had heavy snow in 1979, the year Alfred and I married. I have pictures of that one too and we even had a pretty healthy snowman that year!

I have jury duty in the morning and I wonder if they will still have it. I haven't gotten a call saying it was cancelled so I guess I'll go and see. I hope Jer doesn't have to go to Conroe tonight because they say the bridges are starting to get icy and he has to cross several on his way. I went to WalMart and bought him some long johns, gloves, moisture proof socks and a sweater beanie cap. We aren't very prepared for this type of weather, especially staying out in it for any length of time. Feels like we ought to be outside making molasses in big cast iron kettles! I can remember my grandparents boiling down the sugar cane outside and it was SO COLD! I don't know who the people were but I can see them in my memory and I remember watching the steam from their breath when they would talk. It was colder than a well diggers hiney in Romania! Kinda like it is tonight! Anyhoo.....I must cut it short and get my goggles and snowboots ready for tomorrow! HA! Bundle up and stay warm out there. God bless....
