Cookie making!

Well, as most of you know, the Texas panhandle got pounded with snow. We only got about 4 inches here, but Amarillo got 11 inches. I-40 was shut down on each side of Amarillo. There were wrecks all over the interstate.

Here in Canyon, we had tons of snow blowing in at 50 mph. If I could have mounted a bucket sideways on my tree, we probably would have had a foot of snow. It was blowing sideways. It snowed for about 24 hours and then stopped. This morning, we went out and played and tried to make a snowman. It ended up being a snow sculpture of Palo Duro Canyon. Texas snow is so dry that it doesn't pack well.

We spent our snow day making cookies, enjoying our usual Friday night pizza night and John played a little Rock Band. He took the day off and was really glad he didn't try to go in to work. Later in the morning, they did close the plant.
