Friday and we are letting the kids rest a bit again today -- home where it's warm and they are able to feel a bit better. That means playtime and fun moments.
29th - It's a white day!!! And a sick day. Several of the kids have runny noses and A even has a fever. Indoors is the name of the game and quiet time plays right into that. When littles don't feel well, they really just want to sit or cuddle. We can make that happen.
My new granddaughter was born in November and I am FINALLY able to go and meet her AND be able to spend some time with my daughter and three more wonderful grands. I've worked hard all month so that I can deliver some gifts at the same time, leaving me with a satisfied feeling as well. Today is fly day and I am greeted with rain. Mister dropped me at the airport a bit early, but all is good and soon I am on my way. As we near Utah, it looks dang cold out there. I hope I brought warm enough clothing.
Happy New Year to all my sister Red Hatters!!! It feels like forever since I have been able to attend a Red Hat event. One of my goals this year is to try and clear some time for it instead of booking EVERY weekend a year in advance. I know I'm good for this month and February. March - already hosting an event. The dates for April and May are not out yet and I know those two months are difficult. My fingers are crossed for the first weekend in May as it is my birthday month and I'd love to wear my wonderful red dress again. Time will tell. At any rate --- back to the present!!! I am available today and I am looking forward to it. Let's go!!!
It's raining, it's pouring . . . Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head . . . Singin' in the Rain! Well not quite singing, but Mister has found a wonderful organ concert to attend tonight. It is at the St. Andrew Methodist Church in Plano and we're not going to let the weather stop us. As we arrive, the parking lot is pretty empty, so I am saddened that the rain has likely stopped many others. We have not been in this building before, but it is absolutely stunning. Perhaps another time, when we are up here, I can stop and get a nicer picture, but, again, the weather is not exactly cooperating tonight. We have fog too. In we go.
It's been a very busy week here at home, but the sun is shining this afternoon and we are both tired of being in the house. I heard about a park not too far away that I want to check out today. It's right in Dallas -- well Highland Park, technically, but . . . The Lakeside Historic District!! According to a marker in a rock nearby, "The Lakeside Historical District is a collection of early 20th century homes flanking Exall Lake and Turtle Creek between Beverly Drive and Wycliff. Initially planned by Wilbur David Cook, Jr. and subsequently completed by George Kessler, Highland Park was promoted as 'The South's Finest Residence City.' Many of the most prominent architects of the day designed homes here. Its residents have played significant roles in the development of both Dallas and Texas."
It was 70 degrees out yesterday and today, well, we have snow this morning and the temperatures are dropping quick. So strange how quickly it can change.
Starting the year out right -- weekends with my love. It's a member morning at the zoo and dang brisk out. We'll go and give it a shot, but my hopes are not crazy high.
When we arrive, there is a penguin presentation which we listen to and learn several new things. No pictures, though, because the windows were cloudy and too many people up close to where they were standing. It was fun just to hear all about them.
