Wonderful Winter Weekend


Well our first little cold front brought some snow and a pretty fabulous and romantic weekend to Brneham Texas. Sally and I started the weekend early with a date night on Thursday. We didn’t actually plan a date night but it was sure nice when it happened. We went to check on her car after work and it wasn’t ready. So, we decided to go to our favorite Italian place in Brenham (The Coliseum). We followed that up with a trip to the movies. We saw “Blind Side”. It was very good. Friday brought the snow and the collards mentioned in the previous post. Saturday, we got up and started decorating the house for Christmas. We cooked breakfast, lit a fire and stayed in our PJs all day. The house looks better than it ever has. We even had a VERY exciting sideline. While we were making the bed, I threw a pillow up against a heater. We didn’t notice until the smell of smoke let us know something was wrong. What a close call!!! It reminded us that life truly can change in an instant. Anyway, we got through it. We finished up decorating around 4:00. We got ready for Sally to take part in the Downtown Brenham Christmas Parade. It was so much fun. Finally, Sunday found us at a church festival with our CCE class celebrating St. Nicholas’s saint day. Big time! After that, we loaded up the truck and headed to Carmine for steaks at JW’s. They were closed so Sally suggested we try the Brazos Belle in Burton. OMG!!! Turns out the Brazos Belle is a 4 star restaurant. Very yummy! After our tummies were full we went home and had a many hour grade-a-thon. All in all, it was a very nice, cold and snuggly weekend with the girl of my dreams!
