I'm NOT dreaming of a White Christmas...but someone is determined to give me one. We awoke Sunday morning in Amarillo, and the ground was clear. However, by the time we ate breakfast and gathered our belongings, we faced this when loading our vehicle...

Thankfully, we turned toward the south and only had to deal with the snow for another half-hour or so. We zoomed along for a while, and as inevitably happens on this sort of trip, we needed to stopped for a gasoline fill-up. In a small town between Amarillo and Wichita Falls, we encountered perhaps the most exciting site of the trip....

Yes, you see that correctly folks. I don't really know how this might compare to other places in the country, but I can tell you it's a great deal cheaper than my local gas station in San Pedro, Calif.

We finally pulled in to the PurdyCool grandparents house, and the suspense ended....

Yes indeed, folks, that is a Texas chocolate sheet cake with TARDIS sprinkles. Grandma PurdyCool for the win!! Try not to be too jealous.

So, what could possibly top that? A trip to the world-famous "Big Red Tree!"

After sufficiently burning our retinas, we retired for the evening in order to prepare for the shortest leg of our journey....Colleyville to Livingston. Until next time!!
