What in the World has happened in Texas?

The weather in most of Texas is so cold, it is hard to believe.

I can’t remember the last time it was this cold ( I admit my memory is not real good), but it is 19 degrees and the wind chill is 9. 

This is cold for Texas, at least in our part of  Texas.  Of course, I am worried about my goats and turkeys, but there is nothing I can do other than be sure they have food to keep up their body heat.

Tonight it will be colder, but no wind chill to drop the temp even lower.  I know in the North, you have these temps more often, but I feel you are better prepared.

Of course we grieve for our Beloved Texas Longhorns and worry about Colt’s shoulder.  What a sad thing to happen to this wonderful young man.  We offer no excuses, we were out played, but do think we could have given Alabama a better game if Colt had been in the game.  We do applaud Gilbert for his valiant try.

There are lots of great recipes at Designs by Gollum’s on Foodies Friday.   I have spent an hour or so copying some of the ones I liked.

I am rambling…I know….just needed to post something today to help with the saddest in my heart for my adopted sister/friend, Sharon. Yesterday, we were told they would have to add chemo to her treatments of  radiation.

Yesterday I go some earrings I ordered from Penniwig and they are absolutely beautiful.  If you have not checked out her Esty  Shop….do so.  They are delicate and so dainty.

I have also booked 2 nights Lee’s  Le Shiloh Shabby Chateau in Union Grove, Texas.  If you have not seen this vacation rental, then you need to rush over to Inspired Comblogulations, listed on my Texas list and scroll down until  you see the above Name and click on the picture.  You are in for a sight, you will not believe.  Eat your heart out, Roy and I have it booked for the Valentine Weekend.  Lee and Rick have created a beautiful retreat and you can even have meals catered and delivered to the Chateau….check out the Chef.

Sharon and I are headed to Bryan/ College Station this morn for her to have a Pet Scan, then I guess after they have the results, we will have our treatment schedule. I also found a great recipe for a casserole on Gollum’s blog and I will pick up the ingredients to make it tonight for Roy, when he gets to come home for one night.

Thanks for letting me ramble around this morn.  See you soon and forgive me for now visiting all of you, but know I think of you.
