Shelly > January 17,2009

Mike and I have developed a very fun tradition over the years.  We go to the store together during the month before Valentines and we read the cards to each other.  That way we get to share all the silly,mushy, and trashy sentiments without buying all the cards.  

It's always fun.  You should try it.  Then, on the way out we bought a bag of pink, red, and white M&M's.

My blonde friend got a job at the M&M factory, and she was so excited because she was going to be a proofreader.  She got fired after one week though, because she kept throwing out all the W's.  

Have a nice day and tell someone else a favorite silly joke.
Shelly > The M&M Guys looked like they were standing on the street sign watching the crowds.  It was an animated lighted sign -- fun to watch. 

People started packing the M&M and Hershey stores early on.  You'd think they couldn't buy chocolate anywhere else.

A Sweet Ride

About this time every year, traffic in Houston comes to a standstill.  It's the one time that road rage is not an issue.  Urban sprawl meets the Wild West as several world reknown trail rides converge upon the city to kick off the annual Stock Show and Rodeo.  

You never think about the trail rides.  You just happen upon them.  This morning on the way in to the office, traffic came to a crawl.  I quickly realized that it was the Valley Lodge Trail Ride group on its way to the Rodeo -- and not some major traffic mishap.  If I was late for my meeting, everyone would understand coming upon the riders.  

Once I passed the group,  I thought about stopping to watch them go by and trying to take a few photos.  Good sense, however,  told me that afterward I'd be behind them again and I would be very late.  People would NOT understand that.

I drove on.  

Later as I headed back out to the "burbs" I thought about trying to find the riders again, but alas . . . I was in that old guilt-ridden hurry that I'm always in, so  I took the Interstate.  

Lo and behold, at the corner turning from the freeway to our subdivision, there was the whole trail ride group taking their lunch break. They weave a rather circuitous route to minimize traffic disruption and to hit parks for overnight camping. 

This time I stopped.  I think I was the only person on the lot that wasn't either a  part of the ride, a Sheriff's Constable, or a mom with toddlers.  I'm glad I stopped anyway. Rubbed lots of fuzzy noses, and didn't even sneeze.  (This is BIG!)

We were too far out to get a good skyline juxtaposition with the riders, but couldn't resist the nose and the Mercedes hood ornament.  

Either one is a very sweet ride.   Only in Houston! I sure do love it here.  Especially on beautiful blue-sky 70 degree February days when any excuse to play outside is a good excuse.
