Snow!!!
Sandra:
Will your Canadian snow family be nice to the genuine Texas snowball that resides in my freezer? ;-) Snow is a novelty in Texas. We had a white Valentine’s Day in 2004.
I actually saved a big snowball in a Ziploc storage container. :7 It has been in my freezer for over 3 years! It was so much fun to go outside and play in the snow that day. :7 I woke up at 4:00 a.m. to go outside and play because I did not want to miss it. Several inches fell during the night. I-35 near Austin was closed. I went outside (with no coat and no gloves and no boots--running shoes work!) and danced and played and worshiped. :7 I climbed big hills to take pictures of the beautiful horizon. The Texas ladies were out with cameras. The Texas dogs were looking at their owners as if to say, “Can’t I just use the kitty’s litter box today?” One little puppy had slick little nylon booties on, and he was sliding all over the place. It was a sight to behold. :7 Yes, I ran in the snow. What an awesome workout! Of course, it warmed up and melted by the end of the day. :-(
Yes, I would really buy a snowman if you could ship me one! We get ice storms. We get hail storms (with huge balls of ice falling from the sky in the summer). We do not get to enjoy snow very often.
By the way, the snow cone business is huge around here! I think the first snow cone was actually sold at the Texas State Fair a long time ago. Do you deliver to post office boxes? If I buy a whole snow family, will you bring Shelley and Laurie with you? :*
Blessings,
