I've always loved ol Maxine, but now she is talking my language.



Tell it like it is Maxine!!!!

Easter Sunday in Texas was a bit strange. Snow on the bluebonnets!

My Mom called from Temple, and was so excited. In all of her 96 years she had never seen such huge snow flakes in April!!!!

A friend from Heidenheimer, Texas sent this picture to me.

The snow got as far east as Tyler, so my grandson got to see his first snow. He said Oooooooooooo!

I'm so thankful for my Blogging Buddies!!!
