SNOW ON SATURDAY

Yesterday we all loaded in the ancient Suburban and went to Abilene where that night we saw TV stories on two places we went. We started at the Zoo where the wind was blowing like mad but it was good for kite flying and someone had a three-dimensional kite in the air. The little boys loved the snake building. I didn't. They got to feed the giraffes. We saw the buffalo, black rhinos, crocodile, monkeys, lions, tigers, jaguars, and birds up close.

Then we went to China Garden for their last day of business. Both the zoo and China Garden were on the news.

This morning we got up to a dusting of snow on the ground and in the trees with an inch of rain in the gauge. Christopher and I walked to get the mail and saw the snow on the tree trunks. Keith moved some of the firewood back down and we had a fire in the fireplace today. Sue and Ike came for Kathy's small hamburger lunch with scalloped potatoes and green bean casserole. They all left about 1:30 and Sue left her purse. I called her cell phone to tell her and it rang in the purse. Fortunately they were going to Abilene so she came back by to pick it up and let me get my nap.

I used my column to attack evolution and will wait to see if it is accepted. Got some work done today.
