An Afternoon in Mart and Groesbeck and a Wintry Storm has Arrived.....

We watch the weather when we are in the country more closely than we do at home.

A winter storm warning meant we needed to get to town and get a few supplies.

While Louis Dean did some more work here at the ranch closing up more 'pneumonia holes' and preparing for the colder weather, his son and I drove into Mart and did some laundry and grocery shopping - Read's Grocery Store, the Laundromat on Texas Avenue and, of course, a stop at the Dollar General

From Mart we drove to Groesbeck for Dean's chiropractic appointment.

One stop shopping!

While Dean went to the right - I went to the antique shop on the left!

There's more to see and do in Groesbeck than I thought!

It was a pleasant way to spend part of this Monday afternoon.

On our way back to the ranch, we noticed the weather changing.

Country scenery never gets old for me......

I took this photo as we were nearly back to the ranch.

We unloaded and after I put things away, we all sat on the deck with a glass of wine and watched the weather come in.

Louis Dean had made all the preparations possible.

The new room was as closed up as it could be. He filled our camper reservoir with fresh water and poured up jugs of drinking water for us.

Then we simply sat out on the deck until the front arrived.

We sat through the first round of sprinkles and then when the wind hot - we went inside.

After I made this video, we went in the camper.

As the weather event happened, we ate the dinner I made of meat loaf, potatoes, and cabbage,

*Facebook*

We kept checking the weather but Facebook proved to post the more entertaining updates!

Our movie for tonight.....

We love Tom Selleck!

This was one we hadn't seen before.

We meant to see this one tomorrow - it will be a 'stay warm and inside the camper' kind of day!

However.....

the disc inside was actually this movie.

Probably not the kind we like to watch!

Note to self......check the inside disc when purchasing a DVD.

We still have Gods and Generals for tomorrow.

And there's always Dominoes and reading and playing music and writing and needlework.

I don't think there is any possibility we will ever be bored.

Wishing all our friends and family a safe and warm winter's night!
