Upon my return from Tucson (where it only rains a few times of the year) and the next to last day of vacation and rain, it began to snow in H'town and sleet on the way to Montgomery. Strange happenings.....however, if you do the research, and/or listen to the proper weather person, you will see that each time there is a hurricane in the H'town area, snow follows. How neat is that? or better yet, WHY?
Playing catch-up in all the normal things one must do upon a reasonable amount of time away from home, more stuff appears. Tomorrow is the "Christmas in Historic Montgomery". BF and I plan to go downtown to see all the vendors, shops open, people caroling and spreading good cheer. Sunday we drive back into H'town for the celebration of the newest member of the family, Benjamin Evan. He will formally be introduced to family and friends. BF and I are looking forward to seeing everyone.
Worked most of the day doing holiday cards. Trying to add a personal note or so but my handwriting has become worse as I have become more dependent on my trusty computer. It's nice though to hear from friends, neighbors, and co-workers from many differnt jobs. Although the holiday letters that come in some of the cards bring to mind that time flies, that we go thru life at a very fast pace and indeed time waits for no one.
#213 in my "Life's Little Instruction Book" says "Don't waste any time grieving over past mistakes. Learn from them and move on". enuff said....Happy Weekend....:-)
I love that hurricane/snow fact. That's really interesting. When I think back to my memories of snow the one that really stands out was the winter of my senior year...playing in the courtyard at school while snow flakes fell and immediately melted upon hitting the ground. That was the same year that I was displaced to a friend's home because of Hurricane Alicia.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember it snowing in Houston, except in 1983 (after Hurricane Alicia!) I remember it was wet, almost like rain, and didn't really stick to the ground, but we did get to leave school early that day anyway.
