A wee little grumble and more

Smileycons!
It has turned cold! It shouldn't last long but when it drops from 80 to 38 in a few hours we suffer. No, I do not expect sympathy from my northern friends and family. It is reminder enough that coming south in the winter is an excellent idea.
Marlene and Bernard ventured over from Harlingen yesterday. It is about a 20 some mile trip. Marlene's intention was to stop at the Blue Barn in Mercedes where we can usually buy greeting cards at unheard of low prices like a quarter a piece. It was closed. BUT she brought with her one of her famous homemade Lemon Meringue Pies. It is capitalized on purpose. The pie deserves special recognition as anyone who has had the privilege will tell you. The pie was followed by more cribbage playing but to be honest I was not paying enough attention to give you a tally of the results.
