What they say about Texas weather is so true. If you don't like it, just give it a minute and it will change. A week ago we had ice on the roof and in the front yard. This afternoon I'm lounging in shorts on the back patio, running the ceiling fan because temps are in the mid 80s. I even spied one of our local sail boaters out on the water.
The husband and I ate our first casual lunch together at the club earlier this week. I enjoyed the weekly salad special, while the husband dined on that Texas staple, chicken fried steak. We washed down our meal by splitting a slice of brownie pie. Talk about rich, y'all. It's so convenient to be able to hop in the golf cart and zip over about a half mile to the clubhouse for a meal or happy hour.
My resolution for the year is to learn more about Judaism and the history of the Jews, God's chosen people. I ordered a couple books that were well rated and recommended. Unfortunately, the first one I started was way too esoteric for me. So I switched over to A History of the Jews by Paul Johnson and am really enjoying it. I think that's mainly because my preference is a straightforward, organized approach that engages and holds my attention. I'm really hoping to get back to Israel for another tour next year so I can see the places I'm learning about in this book and my Bible.
