How 'bout this Texas weather?

I can not believe how wet our area is. Hopefully we are in a position that with a few good spring thunderstorms we can have some runoff and fill some lakes and tanks.

We had rain during the night. Sleet when I walked out of the house this morning, which turned to snow during my drive to pick up donuts to take to work.

I guess I have let the cat out of the bag, so I will admit it. At the parts store, we have imported donuts. I pick them up in Abilene and drive them fifty miles to Roscoe every Thursday. Some times they are so fresh the bottom of the box is still warm when I arrive at the parts store. This has been a Thursday routine for over a year, so regular in fact that the donut lady knows me when I walk in and she can recite my order to me from memory.

Oh what the hey. I go to AM Donuts on South Treadaway. Now there is a plug.

Actually we have a crazy routine. Tuesday is from the dollar menu at McDonald's. Wednesday is breakfast burritos from La Popular #1 on South Treadaway, and then the donuts on Thursday.

Today, by the time I made it to the outskirts of Abilene it was snowing sideways! The interstate was basically "one lane". As traffic backed up behind a more cautious driver, a few of us dare devils pulled into the fast lane and eased past.

Hey, I thought if the situation goes bad I have enough gas to keep warm and I did have a dozen donuts.

Luckily I made the drive without incident, although there were a few times the back end of the pickup got a little twitchy. The drive took me about ten or fifteen minutes longer than usual. It is like I tell our drivers, if you stay with it, speed makes very little difference.

Thankfully, there was not a sheet of ice under the snow and it quickly became slush.

Tomorrow I am scheduled to make a quick trip to Lubbock. I am hoping the roads are good by mid morning.

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for the gift of moisture for YOUR earth. Thank YOU for safe passage. I ask for a safe and blessed day tomorrow. YOU are good.
