Snowing in Georgetown Texas today

We got snow today too! Now I don't feel left out after DFW got all of that snow a couple of weeks ago.
This is Theresa as she ventured out with Braunson, my foster Boxer. They both had fun.
Theresa was here visiting from Houston for a few days. Its about 4:00 PM and we are still getting snow. Haven't seen this in years!
Hope everyone stays warm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GREG

Today is Greg Martinez' birthday. Greg is the son of Eddie and Elise Martinez and Carol Saenz. Greg is 44 years old. and that makes me old, and probably the rest of you as well. LOL. Greg is away on a business trip so I guess we will celebrate his birthday maybe Saturday.
Happy Birthday Greg.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERESA

Today is Teresa Bilbo's birthday. Let us all wish her a very Happy Birthday. I'm trying to remember how old she is by remembering my own life events but I think she was born in 1964. Anyway, whichever, she still looks young and vibrant. Happy Birthday Teresa.

Dr's report

Hello,
Here is mom's dr. report. As you know after the accident a bunch of xrays were run on mom for different reasons. On one of her lung xrays a spot was found . Last week she had a CT scan of it. Today we went to the lung dr.and he recommends seeing a surgeon to remove the spot which is about a half inch long . We do know that it wasn't there a week ago . Its not big enough to do a petscan ,which we could see if it is cancerous or not . So the only real alternative is surgery to remove it and do a biopsy on it . This could be a blessing in disquise if it is cancer because at this stage it is about 80% curable... ! If we wait and see it could grow alot faster than we know and then we would be in worse shape.
Any questions? Yes,,she is worried and ofcourse she doesn't really want to have surgery but we'll see. Next week we go see a surgeon to see what he recommends.

WINTERTIME IN SO CAL

Finally this week we received rain and snow in Southern California. We received about 4 to 5 inches in our area. Some areas especially near the mountains received as mus as close to twenty inches and tons of snow in the mountains. Above us near Hemet is Mt San Jacinto, 10,834 feet, the second highest mountain in Southern California.

Another shot of Mt San Jacinto.

This is a telephoto shot of Mt. San Jacinto. Palm Springs is on the Eastern side of this mountain range.

Another telephoto shot of Mt San Jacinto. You can almost see the trees covered with snow. It is about twenty miles as the crow flies from our house. I don't know why, but the blogger only lets me take four pictures at a time.

SHE'S BACK!

Just so everyone is aware. Speedy Gonzales is back! Mom and Dad got their ride today. So things should be back to normal . Roper was over there today for a little while to visit before he goes back to school. He is transferring to Tarleton which is in Stephenville near Fort Worth. Its an Aggie College. Oh well... maybe this one will take..

Gary is working in the oil field patch again . He is working in Odessa at a place where they build oil rigs. We are very thankful...this area is DEAD , DEAD, when it comes to jobs. So he is living in Odessa and I am here in Hawley.

Go Cowboys!

Joe and Eva

For those who don't know. Mom and dad had an accident on thier way home from Fort Worth, this morning. Mom hit ice and slid and hit a tree head on. They are both ok. It took the ambulance a good while to get to the ER because of the snow . They kept dad at the hospital just to make sure he is ok. He has a fracture on his back bone. Sorry ,,I am not there so that is all i can report on that . Mom is staying at the hospital ,,and Syliva is with her.
This happened outside of Loving . They took them to the hospital in Olney.

Mom should have her cell phone but not sure how much power she has.
