OMG it is SNOWING in Houston!! And we had fun in San Antonio too!

So I am at work right now and looking out the window. I think I am hallucinating but I am not, it is fur reals snowing outside! IN HOUSTON! HOUSTON! Land of the 85 degree outside, wear shorts and flip flops, Christmas!

And I will cry me a river, I forgot to bring my camera! Hopefully it will still be snowing once I get home so I can take some photos for Alan. *Update I have a few photos here is one with my little snow swan. :)

SNOW! IN HOUSTON!

(No worries, my outdoor kitty Silver is safe dry and warm in the garage where she has tons of blankies and even an electric one to keep her snug as a bug in a rug. Even in weather like this, it stays close to 60 in the garage. It's insulated and everything.)

This past weekend we went to San Antonio for Alan's work Christmas party which I always look forward to every year. San Antonio is sooo romantic this time of year with the Riverwalk and all of the Christmas lights. I will need to dig through my photos to see if I have any good night shots with the lights.

We went all around the Riverwalk, took the boat tour (I love to do this with Alan every time we go...he is probably tired of it but I still love it so much).

They take you all around the horse shoe shaped part of the river and tell you interesting stories of the buildings and such. And I can see baby duckies on the way.


One of my favorite things to see around the Riverwalk are the trees. So large and full of beauty all year round.

I can't get enough of them. Lots of different species there to see and enjoy.

I took this photo of this lovely tree over my shoulder on the boat. :D



Walking along the Riverwalk you will see HUNDREDS of ducks, mostly mallards but to me they are all so beautiful. After all ducks are my favorite bird, they waddle when the walk, are bottom heavy, have shiny black eyes...wait I am not describing myself!

Look at this pretty little momma here! I think I woke her up. Sorry!

We also went to the Tower of the Americas in Hemisfair park and the view was outstanding.
After the work party and diner we went out with some buddies to the local comedy club.

And well happy surprise, the headliner was Carlos Alazraqui, you might now him as Officer Garcia of Reno 911! or the voice of the Chihuahua from Taco Bell and Peter Griffin's boss at the Toy Factory on Family Guy.

He was hilarious and the nicest guy ever, let me give him a hug and take a photo and autographed a couple of DVD's for us!

I just got to know how he does the clown horn trick.

Weeeeeeee SNOW in HOUSTON!

Carlos- much better looking than I thought! Adorable threesome! Snow in Houston! That must have put everyone into some kind of ice shock- land of no woolies, no snow boots, no snow tires- chains maybe - but not the right kind...
BRRRRR

Nice to meet you Linda Sue! Yeah Carlos looks a lot better without the mustache! The snow only lasted a few hours the next day it was hot again. We did not even have to worry about driving in poor conditions. :(

Hhehehe woolies too cute!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
