I mentioned the hot muggy weather when we were in Corpus last month when I took this picture. This is the tale of the absolute opposite weather in Corpus Christi.  Well, except that, it was as windy if not even windier.  It was the coldest day I ever remember in Corpus and Cody would agree.  I don’t think I have any pictures to mark the day- a day that would wind up a famous legend in our family.  One that has become a part of the...

I was looking through some writing/blog  prompts today and one of them was “what’s in your car trunk?”.  Of course, we don’t have a trunk. . . we have trucks. And we now have two trucks which really seems to mirky the waters.  It’s difficult to remember which truck we’re in and what is in which truck.  We also need duplicates of things that we don’t have. In the back of the Ford?  The back seat is...

It was several months after Kenny Chesney released his song “A Lot of Things Different” before I started painting the rooms in our house.  It’s something Cody knew I would do eventually and every time we’d hear this line in the song, he knew I was getting closer to painting. She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in blues and greens But I wouldn’t let her, it wouldn’t of hurt nothing I knew what...

We were just down there in July.  But when Coralyn told us that her brother passed away, we knew we’d make another trip down to Corpus Christi.  Cody says it totally messed up his average since before July, it had been a really long time since we were there.   It didn’t matter as we knew we needed to be there. Since I’ve become a Hotwire fan, I checked out Hotwire and found I could get a 4-star hotel in the waterside area...

October is Gone!  Praise the Lord!  November is Here!  I love that each year, each month, each week, each day, each hour, we’re given a fresh starting point. October wasn’t the best month around here.  It had it’s share of the blues, wacky times, and busy times.  There was no routine and no schedule.  Everything seemed to suffer- we we’re exhausted, we ate miserably, the house became a mess. . . and this blog...

I’ve been wanting to try this Simple Woman’s Daybook format for a while.  And since I haven’t had a chance to go through the 1000′s of pics we took last weekend on our unexpected trip to Corpus Christi, tonight’s the night I try it.  After all, I haven’t blogged in quite some time. Outside my window… It’s getting dark.  It’s been cloudy and dreary.  (But so much cooler than Corpus was- so...
