A BLIZZARD MISSED


  • At the "ranch" near Beeville, TX. Notice we have the Longhorns sandwiched? Go Alabama! Oklahoma Sooner proud!



  • What we left behind here in Oklahoma.

  • While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gen. 8:22


  • We went into Midwest City to pick up the rental car on Thursday morning (Christmas eve). Ice was already accumulating on the roads. Once home we hurried to load the car and get out of town hoping to not have any trouble with the weather. We could only drive about 35 MPH as we went south on I35, but about Ardmore the roads were good, so we could go the speed limit. It snowed, rained, or sleeted as far south as nearing Austin, Texas. We arrive at our destination about 7pm that evening.

    We had a great time with family, taking walks on the land, attending Sabbath services in Corpus, eating a couple of big dinners together, and a drive into George West and Beeville. We were treated like royalty the whole time.

    We arrived back to God's Country on Monday evening. It was nice to escape the snow, 14 inches altogether. The weather man says more snow is coming. We went into town to buy a few things, and as usual with snow, I couldn't get back into the garage. Even so, the Lord blessed us with a great trip to Texas and back. We belong to and serve an Awesome God!
