Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

Hope the game goes well for your team this afternoon

I hope so! This team has so much talent and heart that they deserve good things! We love our Texans for sure.

It got cold overnight. I doubted my weather stations temp reading when I woke up - but there's plenty of ice out there to make me think it wasn't so far off.

Full on sun this morning and temps are rising. Baby goats are bouncing around everywhere! They don't seem the least bit perturbed by the cold. Thankfully, they're not newborns and have grown and filled out enough to weather the weather, lol.

Been working on preps for the trip to S. Carolina in March for DGS's graduation from basic. I've already got a reservation for a vehicle. Also have hotel reservations for the 3 nights we'll spend near base. We'll make the reservation for the first day on the road while on the road. Not sure how far we'll go the first day so not going to make a reservation until we have an idea of where we'll end up. Spent some time yesterday ordering real paper maps for the 4 states we'll be driving through. Yes, we all have smart phones and tablets, but I like an honest to goodness map from time to time. I even know how to fold one, lol.

Well Boo! Texans lost today. I hate to say it - but hey deserved to. Not sure what happened to them. The weather was horrible, we had injuries in some major players and our quarterback seems to have lost his mojo. Darn shame - but there's always next year!

Pulled some turnips for dinner. Most were nice- but whew(!) one had a bite to it! Cooked a couple strips of bacon, sliced and then sauteed the turnips. YUM!

I got a surprise call from DGS today! He had an hour to make all the phone calls he could fit in. It was great to talk to him!

Cold but beautiful. Not really sure how cold it was but there was enough ice to know we definitely had a freeze. I can do without anymore...
