My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Walking in the Snow on Christmas Eve

Whew. I finally got the little movie made. And of course as soon as I finished uploading it to YouTube, I realized I completely forgot to add still photos to it--The EGE took some amazing ones, and I was going to put those in it. I completely forgot, and, truthfully? I wouldn't have had time to do any more, anyway--after messing around with the audio and waiting for everything to upload--the videos from the camera, and then into iMovie, and then from iMovie to the external hard drive, and then to YouTube--well. It's just 
Time to Move On. 
So here's the video, and then scroll down for some photos.
Sorry it's a couple days late, but I spent yesterday working on the wrist warmers--I wore them and loved them and am, today, embellishing them. As soon as I get that part finished, I'll post them, too.

Our house. 




Down at the end of the block. 

Me wearing layers and layers. 


I put this on some stranger's car window. Uh-oh. 

My boots! 

Cool bird tracks. 



This is in the window of the Haley Library (part of the museum complex), and it's so threatening and sinister it creeps me out every time I see it. I included it lest you see these photos and think it's lovely and forget that this is, after all, Midland, Texas.

All these are at the museum--we pass through the grounds every day.

Neighborhood house. 
The EGE got a really cute one of this little girl just as--aieeeeeee!--the battery on his camera ran out. They were here from Norman, OK, and were amazed at the snow. 


Our house later in the evening. 
Another neighborhood house. 
Isn't this just a perfect shot for "Frosty the Snowman?"

"He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler 'Stop!'"

Whew. Time to go for another walk~~thanks for coming by, and I hope your holiday or non-holiday or day off or however-you-think-of-it = hope it was fabulous. XO

We have been loving the snow up here in Andrews too!! What a treat, but I start get the SADD symptoms after 3 days without our sun - my brother Marc is right, us 'sun birds' couldn't survive in Seattle! We bring the sun with us every time we go there. The saddest note in all your snow deliciousness, is the sign in the museum library window...seems to me that any non-profit should be more careful about their employee behavior and window decorations at work! There are 3.5 million Dems in Texas who voted for Pres.Obama, and of course 4.5.million voted for Sen McCain - 43% to 55%, not 100 to nuthin...I wrote a letter to Congressman Conaway, reminding him that he is MY congressman too, not just thr red folks....sorry, it really is hard to 'lean forward' in west Texas!!

I think that building is the office of one of the Haley family, for whom the Haley Library is named. So although it may be a part of the complex, it may not be non-profit--I don't really know. They're not friendly there in that building, so I stay away.

It was fun to watch you in the snow in Texas. I am in Ohio and thankfully, we have not had much snow at all so far this year (knock on wood)!! I really don't like the snow. People tell me that I would miss it if I didn't have it...but I don't think so. Maybe I would like it better if I could just stay home and not drive in it. You video of the snow was just enough for me this season - ha!

It was a chilly 10 degrees here this morning but no snow or ice, so I am grateful! I took a 40 minute power walk anyway.
