The situation in Texas is sad to see.
It is so heartbreaking! Thank you William for ALWAYS leaving a comment. I so appreciate it.
It is very sad. Thank you for visiting.
Thank you William.
Yes I feel for the Texas people and hope things improve soon. We had a terrible tornado at Ocean Isle this week – the photos of the total devastation (and there were deaths) are unbelievable. Here inland we escaped the possible ice storm, along with all the negative things that come with them, such as power outages! Thankful for this.
You’ve given me a lot to digest here dear Elizabeth, so I’m away to read after I grab a glass of cabernet perhaps!
Enjoy your weekend – be safe and warm.

Mary, it always brightens my day when you come to visit. I am so happy you survived all of the bad weather. The rain here has been awful, flooding in many areas. Thankfully as far as I know no one has died. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. xo
It is sad and heart breaking that Texas is going through such horrific hardships. Prayers
IT is so sad. Hopefully help is on the way.
My heart goes out to Texas. This must be a great hardship for so many on top of the pandemic. You have so many wonderful suggestions. The pink coat is so pretty!
Thank you Norah. I agree the pink coat is very pretty and fun for spring.
Elizabeth -Wow. This is definitely a lot to take in, amazing how you put this together! I enjoyed the story about the chocolate chip cookie, I want the pink jacket and needed that read about how to motivate yourself with kindness instead of criticism. Will look forward to this each week! Regina
Regina, thank you! I hope that you enjoyed the post and come back on Friday for more.
Writing from Texas to thank you all for sending your kind thoughts our way. This Winter storm is not at all something those of us in the middle, South or Eastern part of Texas are used to. We’re flood and hurricane surviors, don’t know what to do with snow and freezing temps! This weather event should be a lesson to teach our younger generation across the Nation, to be prepared for anything as I told my son even an ant knows to prepare for Winter.
