Cold...again

They said it would be in the low 30's but they were wrong! It was only in the low 40's but I am okay with that. Cloud cover made the difference. We apparently had a nice warm blanket of clouds that kept us toasty warm. Yeah clouds! Never thought I would say that.
For me yesterday was a day filled with computers of one sort or another. I am seeing progress and that is gratifying. One of my newbies said I got much more out of today's class than I did last week. Music to my ears.
Butch played pool in the morning and bridge in the afternoon. They need more bridge players. As it is if someone doesn't show they have to go get them or go home. It takes a commitment to learn to play bridge and not everyone is up for that. Square dancing is the same way. Both are fun activities but you do have to learn the ropes. Some people like to take on a challenge and many are reluctant. Tis what it tis.

Cold snap!

A friend on facebook pointed out that this is our 4th cold snap of the season! We usually have 1 and it usually happens in January or February. The low this morning was 35 degrees!! That is the bad news. The good news is that it will be 75 by Sunday. It has been a roller coaster ride in the South Texas amusement park.



Butch came in 5th in a big pool tournament yesterday. More detail on the Magnolia blog. And I am still immersed in computer business. I need to get some cleaning done but cleaning has never been my favorite choice of activity.
 I have returned to beading in a small way as I have made a few beaded rings.
Just putzing around and having fun doing what we love to do every day. We could not be more grateful for all that we have.

Our lives today...

Our lives today and this season in sunny south Texas have evolved in a way I never thought would happen. Butch is playing very little golf and much more pool. He is good at both of course but one of those two is far less of a strain on a back that has had 3 surgeries. We sometimes see each other in bits and pieces throughout the day and it is working out that we are both okay with it.
My part of busy is largely computer related and it will reach a leveling off once we get everyone who has issues of one thing or another settled. The number of those issues has increased from years past and thus taking longer to level off
I have been playing more pool this season and enjoying it. My skills are improving but still have a long way to go.
I read on Facebook that son Gary and family have suffered with the flu. Gary did not have a flu shot and seemed to have it much worse than Susan who had a flu shot. She was surprised to learn that 35 people have died in Texas from the flu. I told her a lower number but they just reported that the number is up to 35 and they expect it to go higher.  When Butch and I were at Walgreens on Sunday there were people lining up for flu shots. It takes about two weeks for full protection from the vaccine.
I am doing this particular post on the chromebook and run into my first tiny snafu. I have been saving some photos to put on the blog but they happen to be on the Toshiba so not today, Maybe tomorrow.
It is now time for a long winters nap.
Goodnight ya'all

Tiny House

I am fascinated by tiny houses. I think the one we have is small enough but this guys house is really cool too and so much smaller than ours.
