SNOW in Texas

This doesn't happen very often. First time for us in Bandera. While we were in Katy, it happened a couple of times. Beautiful on the trees and bushes. It is strange to see snow falling into the swimming pool :) Everything in the news and on Face Book was about SNOW. Everybody in Texas excited about that. It stayed all night and this morning still on grass, trees, roofs etc, but clear roads. We went to a Christmas breakfast for Bridlegate neighbors at the Flying L. Then I went to the HEB in Boerne. By mid day it was 55 degrees and all the snow was gone.

Bird Guests

This was an amazing group of yard guests! They haven't been here before. Not sure if they are "coming or going"...but beautiful birds.

A Few Thanksgiving Items

Mike, Carrie, and the boys came to our house for Thanksgiving. They arrived late Wednesday afternoon. That evening we went to the 11th Street Bar, in town. (Wed evenings are always, cook-your-own-meat-family-night. And the Wed before Thanksgiving is also get-a-turkey-fried. Tons of people there. We went with the Simmons, John prepared the turkeys to fry and made a reservation for our group. It was fun...not exactly kid friendly...but okay.) On Thursday morning Mike and Carrie ran a half marathon in San Antonio. I cooked dinner and had it ready about 1 pm. On Friday the Thompsons went to SA to the Alamo and to a restaurant with 3 lb cinnamon rolls. Ron and I went to a movie in Kerrville. On Saturday morning the Thompsons went to SA again...new tires on the car and some shopping.  Mike came back with a great cake for Carrie's birthday and we ordered Chinese food for dinner. Here are just a few random "food pics". (Mostly from Carrie's birthday...but a few from Thanksgiving dinner.)
