FINALLY SNOW!!

12.18.2014 - Today was great because it finally snowed!!

I have been wishing for snow at the RV in Show Low for a couple of months. The weatherman forecasted snow for Wednesday and Thursday so I drove up on Monday.

Tuesday night I was so excited that I didn't sleep but kept a hopeful lookout for any sign of flurries. The weather app on my phone teased all day, changing its predictions hourly. No snow.

After a fitful rest Wednesday night, I  awoke to a slight dusting of snow like powdered sugar on a dark chocolate cake. This wasn't what I had in mind!! But now it's starting to pick up a bit and even though there won't be enough to build a snowman, at least I can stay inside with a mug of hot chocolate and enjoy the peaceful sight of falling snow.

KYLE'S FIRST CHRISTMAS

Kyle, 10 months, looked very dapper in his Santa hat on Christmas Day 2013! I adore this photo of this adorable little grandson of mine on his very first Christmas.

White Christmas

I took a little "What's Your Christmas Anthem" quiz on Facebook and here is the result:

"A nostalgic and serene dreamer, your Christmas Anthem is "White Christmas" by the incomparable Bing Crosby! For you, this time of year brings a calmness and peaceful serenity, a winter wonderland of beautiful white scenery. The chill in the air and the glow of Christmas lights sets you at ease, and brings about a true feeling of happiness in an otherwise tumultuous world."

FOG

Today was foggy!!
I dislike change except when it comes to the weather. And living in the desert is not really conducive to change. The weather is hot and hotter with a little rain few and far between. So it was delightful to wake up today to FOG!!

BUT BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!!

In the winter of 1955, we moved to Coffman, Texas for three months where Dad worked his truck on a road-building job. He worked with two of his friends and we shared a two-story house with their families. Bill & Katie Manasco and Lavern & Barb Nichols shared the 1st floor and we had the 2nd floor to ourselves. One day it snowed and Katie and Mom decided to pose in their bathing suits with Mr. Snowman. Mom was 26 when this photo was taken. It has always been a favorite of mine because it shows Mom's fun, happy, and playful personality!
