Sandy Jackson Epoch
Snow in Texas -- WOW!While I don't miss the four to five months of snow back home, one day of it is just GREAT. It was 75 degrees yesterday, freezing today and back up into the mid 50's tomorrow. I went to a drive thru starbucks this morning and the order taker was singing through the speakers about how great the weather is with two inches on the ground. We were up at 7:30 am and made our first snowman and displayed it on my car. About 2 hours later we made a three foot snowman and later we are going to try and make a bigger one. This is the first time my 4 year old grandson has seen snow and he is loving it. Here are some pics. I certainly do not ever want to pick up a roof rake again.
After Doctor Custer releases my grandson to go back to nursery school I hope to be headed to San Diego for a much needed relaxation.
Sandy from Texas today

Nothing amazing or exciting but my youngest doggy Mavis has worms and a separate unrelated malady of hair loss on her back. So she's on antibiotics and a wormer. Wonderful. I just got back from the laundromat, washing some bed stuff that Mavis had soiled by peeing in her sleep. I had to use a front loader machine and spend about $5 on quarters. Then to the library and Curves. As I said, not amazing or exciting.

Condolences to Terry and her family on the death of her mother:
Thelma G. Steenburg

Mrs. Steenburg was born January 27, 1917 in Madrid, NY, to Thomas and Lida Goldie. She graduated in 1936 with double majors from Potsdam and Crane School of Music. She was married to Carl J. Steenburg of Spencer, NY, New Year's Day 1943.

Mrs. Steenburg taught for 37 years throughout New York State. She was a beloved and well-respected teacher for 28 years at Fayetteville Elementary, teaching first and fourth grade and as a reading specialist.

She had many passions and hobbies such as gardening, traveling, golf, SU sports and Yankees baseball. In addition, she was an award winning Master Quilter, however her main passion was her family whom she loved unconditionally.
