A Short Drive | Rain, Ice & Finally SNOW! | Allen TX March 4, 2015

Surely, I'm not alone in thinking Texas weather can be a little wacky at times.  These past two weeks are no exception to the wackiness.



We'd all been coasting along, finally enjoying some near-80 degree temps, when suddenly a blast of cold and ice happened, with a little dusting of snow.  Then, a week after that, a repeat.  Warm weather, rain, ice, snow.  All of this just a couple of weeks before spring break (that should probably be capitalized. . . all of it!. . .SPRING BREAK!!).  It's sort of like winter was pretending to happen, right up until spring was due to arrive.  Surprise!  And welcome to Texas. haha!



This short video gives an example of a day of weather transitions.

Enjoy~~ (^.^)v

Some Chat & A Saturday Morning Drive | Allen, Texas

---

Saturdays are made special, now.

Instead of sleeping in, us big peeps go out before sunrise to get a cup of coffee and orange juice.  And sometimes, we drive around a bit.  It's a nice little break from the week's goings on.

This last Saturday was no exception, as seen in the vid.  Well, at least you'll see it after the complaining I do at the front of the vid.  haha!

Anyway...
We drove around Allen a little, just a small part of it, and captured fast moving clouds on camera.  Another beautiful day, it was.

Aside from enjoying the weekend, I've been thinking about what videos I should make soon.  For some reason, though, my motivation is lacking.  I know what I want to do, just can't seem to get started.  I'll be working on it!

In the meantime, enjoy the vid.  There's more to come soon!  (^.^)v

Winter Break & Lost Voice

At last we are on Winter Break!

I like to capitalize the "holiday" because it's quite welcome right about now.  Winter Break is comprised of the couple of weeks in the year during which Christmas and New Year's occur.  Oh, and school is out!

But before all this happened, there were school parties.  And that is where we all caught our latest illness.  Sore throats, aches and chills.  Yep.  And now, nearly a week later, my voice (gruff from chatting and coughing) has given out on me.  So the vids, if I get many  made this week, aren't going to have much talking going on.  Unless, of course, the voice makes a decent comeback.  

In the meantime, I'll be thinking of what's coming next.  You know, for the new year.  I've some plans already.  Here's hoping 2015 is gonna be a good one!

Enjoy!  (^.^)v

A Morning Drive to Irving Texas: On the Road to Freedom

It seems I've been doing a lot of driving videos.  The reason for that is, we've been doing a lot of driving!

The latest adventure was perhaps the most important one so far.  It'll lead to even more adventures in the future.  This because new doors have been opened since Fargo became a U.S. citizen.

In the video, there is a long drive to Irving, Texas, where the Oath Ceremony is held.  I left most of the long drive in the video for a reason, it's symbolic.  This journey to citizenship has been a very long one.  It has taken nearly two decades to reach this point.  That and lots of paperwork, money and waiting.  Suspense-filled waiting.

I could say more about this event, because it is no simple thing.  For now, I'll let it be and learn how to relax a little.

Take care out there! (^.^)v
