Rainy Days!

The last few days have made me question where we live?  We haven't seen the sun in awhile. We've had lots of rain.  So much rain Cody has questioned where we live as well. Wait, when doesn't Cody question where I moved his little tail feathers to? Especially this time of year!  Today as I was driving I thought to myself, if I didn't know any better I would confuse Dallas with Seattle. Oddly enough my first few days in Texas more than 5 and a half years ago I questioned if I had accidentally moved back to Seattle as Dallas was experiencing quite the May showers.

Let me tell you though, I was super prepared for this round of rainy/icy weather. I even served chili and cheddar biscuits for New Year's Eve to our guests. Trust me, chili was just the thing to serve when the icy conditions started up. Yesterday it rained ALL DAY! Never stopped! Perhaps I was super prepared but I'm happy to say it hasn't felt as bitterly cold as I expected it to feel. I doubt Cody would agree or Simon either. The other night Brad opened our door that leads to the balcony and little Piper was right at his heel, she had quite the visible reaction to the super cold breeze she felt. She quickly retreated back a few steps and blinked her eyes a few times. Probably shocked by what she just felt.

So I'm back to blogging! Yes, I've been a little absent lately. Partly because life has been busy. What can I say? It's been the holiday time. With my mom visiting too, I didn't want to take too much time to blog. We'll have a busy weekend as Brad's extended family will be getting together on Sunday to celebrate the holidays. This year the get-together is a little later than usual, should be fun. Tomorrow I will be preparing our dishes for the extended family Christmas around the Cards game. I've already made sure all my fave Cards gear is clean and ready to wear! Woo-hoo!
