Absolutely beautiful Spring day here. Don't want any cold weather back until Christmas.

I ordered a CD called Christmas in July by Judith Owen. My normally congenial husband says I have to wait until Christmas in July to listen to it. Bahhumbug!

It's raining today. Woke up this morning to a thunderstorm....lightening, thunder, and WIND. It was scary for a while. Just glad the really bad storms stayed south of us. Cleaning house today and listening to some Christmas tunes.

Busy weekend for us. Saturday we had a workday at church then I came home and finished planting my veggie garden. And Sunday we skipped church for a family day out. I always hate to miss church, but the break was much needed and well enjoyed.
Last night we had a bad thunderstorm. It was really scary for awhile and we stayed under a tornado watch for much of the night. The storms are the only thing I hate about Spring. Missing Christmas, but not missing the cold.

Hi ya'll!!

I now have computer access again and my computer was rebuilt after it crashed. I sure have missed ya'll at CAY!

Christmas in July seems far away here. Our highest spring temperature was 94F 3 weeks ago.

Think Snow!

A Christian devotion by Our Daily Bread for both Christmas and Easter!

It is Fiesta time in my hometown of San Antonio Texas. The biggest city-wide celebration but it does not compare to Christmas.

Viva Fiesta! Happy Christmas in April!

Yay!! Noel is back! Christmas all year just hasn't been the same without you.

In all my many years of buying on ebay....I just had my first bad experience with a seller. Luckily I finally got it resolved without having to use ebays help and got my refund. I'm so happy about it. I think I'll use it to buy something for Christmas.

Jwlundgren....Thanks for the Christmas/Easter devotional. One of the songs our Sunday School kids are singing this year is a song celebrating the connection of the 2 with the ringing of bells. It's very sweet.

Today, for some weird reason, our local station interrupted a show with half an M&M's Christmas commercial! THEN we watched Little House on Hallmark: the family/friends Christmas episode. Just perfect!

Friday mornings storms brought an extreme change in the weather. It is COLD. It feels like Winter again....and a little like Christmas!

Today we hit 95F..........looks like it won't be cooler than that for another 9-10 months. STILL, we sang Christmas tunes this morning with our breakfast!

That sounds fun. I am from San Antonio, TExas, I suspect it is close to that. We had 10 months of summer. IN Sweden, we have 7 months of winter. On Tuesday, we are going to a church service that I think will be alot like a Christmas lessons and carols, the reading of the passion gospels mixed with lent hymns. I am looking forward to it.
