Winter in Texas

 Wow! Snow in central Texas! Well, probably more like a freeze-over and some floating snowflakes, but it's a good start--and maybe we'll actually have some real snowman weather further on down the line. Not that Fiorella has the clothes for that kind of weather anymore, but she could still look at the melting snow through her big, long bedroom window and remember when she was a child and would roll those cold, sticky balls together into snowball families. 

Of course, our current freeze means that Fiorella and everything else in town is home-bound for the time being--even your girl's long awaited medical appointment, which was canceled by an early morning phone call. Never-the-less, the little girl from across the street was somehow able to scamper across to our house to see if Granddaughter could play today. 

So what is Fio going to do today? Probably brood over the time way back when she ran for office and was dirty-dogged by the woman who had been your girl's vice-president in her previous position. Liz used all the dirty tricks in the book, from dumping Fio's garbage into her neighbors' trash cans up and down the block to suddenly joining your girl's church with a great deal of fanfare to telling outright lies.

Hey--Son L just told Fio that the freeze is being predicted to last for a couple more days! If only your girl still had ice skates and  remembered how to use them.

In the midst of your girl's wallowing in times past, she has tell you that she might actually have a future hanging over her head. A friend is talking about getting her into an art group. We'll see.....

P.S. Have you ever tried to cook your lunch while three squeeking little girls were running back and forth in the kitchen and your son was trying to help all of us at once?
