Happy New Year!

We celebrated in the pool hall where there was an official New Years eve party complete with food, fun and friends. Traditionally Butch and I have walked at midnight to note the explosion of fireworks that takes place in deep south Texas and the celebration did indeed happen despite the cold, damp and dreary weather. Yes, folks we are experiencing weather much like the last two winters, however it is too soon to say if it will hang on and irritate us beyond reason. For the record, we are on day three with promises of more to come. That is the bad part. The good part is that we can still do all the activities we normally do with more preparation. We did get our two walks in yesterday but we wore coats. Today and tomorrow we may have to add umbrellas. The wind is out of the north. For our friends up north think of those days in September when the weather has been very summer like when out of the blue a cold front comes through dropping temps from the 70's to the 50's in a matter of minutes and then add drizzly skies to the mix. It can feel very unpleasant and that is what we have here and now.
We experienced too much of this kind of weather the past two winters. Last year I wished for a craft project to help keep me warm (Swedish weaving) and all my supplies were in Jefferson. This year I have started a project. 
Computer class commences in an hour so breakfast awaits....till next time!
