Won the weather lottery!

We have not only been let out of weather jail we have now won the weather lottery! We have had a few days of perfect weather and they say a long stretch of weather goodies are on the way. Peg and I were on our way to Hobby Lobby today and we were talking about how difficult it is to think of Christmas with temps in the 70's. Even after all the years we have spent Christmas in South Texas it is still a stretch of the imagination for us.

I remember back to the days where we would  watch the weather reports and wonder if we would be able to travel to a relatives place or if the kids would be able to make it home for Christmas. Weather can still be a factor here but really...not so much.

Marlene and Bernard ( Butch's sister and brother-in-law) have made it down  from northern Iowa. We plan to go to Harlingen to see them tomorrow afternoon.
