winter wonderland












i love snow. i love memories as a child of playing in the snow with my two cousins. building snowmen, making snow angels and having snow ball fights. i remember my grandmother making snow cream and me just eating snow right out of a tupperware bowl with a spoon while sitting in front of the t.v. when we moved from kentucky to texas in 2007 i had accepted the fact that we wouldn't get to experience those fun-filled winters and our children would grow up being one of those kids who had never seen snow. well, yesterday the unexpected happened and God dropped a little bit of wonderland in our yard.....actually about 6 inches of it. snow days are the best days of the year. it provides endless hours of free entertainment for the kids and to me, there is nothing better than being warm and cozy and stuck in the house with the ones that i love the most. thank you God for these special days. my cup is overflowing.

Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...
