LINDSAY WITH SNOWY BACKGROUND

Our beautiful granddaughter Lindsay with a snowy background today.

February 27, 2015 Was a Strange Day in Grapevine, Texas

Today was a strange day for us in Grapevine. Our average high temperature for Feb. 27 is 63 degrees. Our high yesterday was 30 degrees. We had 2-inches of snow officially at DFW. That broke the record set in 1934 when they had .5 inches! Where is all that global warming they keep talking about?

I must say many of these Texans seemed really excited to see snow, not me. I have seen enough snow in my lifetime to satisfy me. I am a native Hoosier and lived one winter in New York so let me assure you that 2-inches of snow is nothing to get excited about! Dustin loved it though and had to get out in it then make snow ice cream. Me, I am ready for Spring!

FAIR PARK IN THE SNOW FEBRUARY 27, 2015

Since this blog is basically history for my grandkids to have later in life I thought it would be appropriate to post this picture of Fair Park in Dallas in today's snow. There is quite a change from the 1915 picture and this snowy scene. Mom (Mam-Mam) would have loved seeing this. She loved this part of Fair Park.

STATE FAIR OF TEXAS 1915

I love this picture. I have always enjoyed history and especially in areas I am familiar with.

Folks at the State Fair in Dallas, 1915. I'm always drawn to images of people having a good time. Do I detect (dare I say it?) a trace of a smile on a couple of their faces?

SILLY SISTERS

Steffinee and Samantha when Steffinee was here over Christmas break. These two are something else when they are together - giggles, giggles, giggles.

This is what happens when a couple of granddaughters get their hands on grandma's phone!

CHRISTY'S 43RD BIRTHDAY

I am running a little behind as usual but here is Christy on her 43rd birthday with the cakes Samantha made her.
