* We recently made a quick trip to Texas to watch our 9-year-old granddaughter play basketball in a tournament. We had been wanting to go watch Karsyn play, but it had not worked out during their regular season. The opportunity to attend the season-ending tournament, when her team was the number one seed, provided the hope of seeing her play more than one game—if they won the first game. They did win their first game, which was the first game of the day at 8:am. Their second game wasn’t until 2:pm, so that gave us time to go back to the house, get some good food into everybody’s tummys (hence a stop at the donut shop!), and have a little break before the next game. But Karsyn’s team didn’t play as well the second game so that ended the tournament for them, which was fine with our grandkids because that meant we had the rest of the day to goof off. The only problem was, it was way too cold to be outdoors. Too cold... in Texas? It was not only cold, but we had a blizzard for an hour or so with huge, fluffy snowflakes. With the ground being too warm to capture snow, there was no accumulation. But things truly are bigger in Texas... those were the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen!
