My First Snowfall in Texas

I have lived here since 1992 and NEVER seen a real snowfall here, until this past week.  The doorbell rings at about 7:30 and it's the 8 year old little girl from across the street announcing to me that it's "SNOWING"! Real honest to goodness big fluffy snowflakes! As I pull on my jacket and boots and run after her to have a snowball fight!  I felt like a kid and was so excited to see snow!!!

The last time I saw snowflakes like this was at the Chicago airport in 2007 on my way back from my mothers funeral in Greece.  I have always loved the cold, snowy weather that winter brings, and love being outside while it snows. 

This was my house the next morning, it really felt like it was December and Christmas is coming!

It's winter time in the South

The heat kicked on sometime in the night. The day before the air conditioner was on.  I woke up to to the sound of rain and didn't want to get up.  Too bad we don't have paid "rain" days.  It does feel like winter in Texas today, I actually had to put on my jacket and threw on a scarf for good measure.  I am only really going to the car, and from the car to my office so I would be out in the elements less than two minutes.  The dogs yawned, stretched, looked out the back door and didn't want to be bothered with the cold and the rain this morning, and went back to bed. I gave them a dog biscuit and water, hopefully they won't make to big of a mess by the time I get back home. 

On my real estate ventures I have been meeting a lot of new people and I'm hopeful that we will have long lasting professional relationships.

On the art side, I finished a few glass abstracts and they are all mounted and ready to be hung on the wall.  Now I just need to find the right wall and price them correctly to sell.
