It's been cold in Texas this weekend and I have enjoyed it!
We don't get true winter cold often and I have gone outside to sit and sip coffee - for a very few minutes anyway - for the last three mornings.
Louis Dean does not like the cold and yet he does enjoy playing outside.
He planted nine flower bushes on Friday. Some in the ground and some petite knock out roses in containers.
We came in, cleaned up and drove over to the Bell's to spend Friday evening with them.
We started with the girls' hockey game.
You can see that Louis Dean doesn't like to be cold!
We rode with Amber and Harrison since I can't drive at night.
And since I can't - I really enjoy riding at night enjoying the lights.
Amber and Mike make such a beautiful couple and are the best parents I have ever known!
The girls didn't know we were coming to their game so it was a surprise!
They were even more surprised when they arrived home and saw us there for pizza, popcorn, Cokes and a movie!
This was an excellent one!
Kept us all totally involved - including Louis Dean!
We came home and went straight to bed!
When I woke up, I thought it was Sunday!
I tried to watch Fellowship online only to find last week's message so I watched that instead.
Pastor Ed started a new series called In the Zone and now I'll be ready for next Sunday.
Louis Dean and I bundled up and went to Jesse's to help them unpack.
Happy smiles all around!!
Levi pitched in and helped his dad haul in the beds and carry boxes.
I helped Rachel unpack the kitchen things.
Just look at that magnificent gas stove!
One feature I love in this house is that every inch of space for storage is used.
Some cupboards are so tall that Louis Dean had to climb a ladder to wipe them down.
All kinds of nooks and crannies are for storage.
The sink has a shelf that tilts out to hold scrubbers and such.
I had myself a nice cup of coffee!
I took it out on the deck and sat in the sun praising God for asking Him to bless this beautiful house as Jesse and Rachel make it into a home.
I love all the trees and the winding path down to the yard.
Jesse says these two huge crepe myrtles are different colors and can be seen from the street.
Jesse turned the football games on for LD. He watched one before we went home to watch the Chiefs play. My brother Buster called me and we promised to root for our team even though we are far apart.
I do wish I could watch a game with him - maybe someday.
Louis Dean used his heated throw and I built a fire!
A perfect day and night!
We are still burning the old elm tree which is like balsa wood now!
Today (Sunday) was another cozy day at home watching church online and then football games later in the afternoon.
I've been busy moving out the Christmas cups, glasses, serving dishes and plates to my storage building. I just set them on shelves and can find them easily as the seasons change.
It's been fun to see my dishes again!
It's like they are new again!
I've also been doing the edits Amber gave me of the Prologue and Chapter 1.
I went in and updated those two posts after I made the edits.
She was spot on!
I still need to edit Chapter 2 before I publish it on the blog tomorrow.
LD and I are looking forward to watching the inauguration of President Trump.
I'm hoping Ilene will come down and watch some of it with us!

I have never seen a kitchen with black cabinets before! It is elegant and kind of like velvet! Stay warm!!
