And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9

Aggie Bonfire 2010

On our way home last night, B said instead of a snowman, we should build an Aggie Bonfire. He was sleepy and so he barely made it through the news and was fast asleep. No Aggie Bonfire for us.

This morning, we were amazed by all of the snow. So, he went and took some pictures for me!!

Our House


Then, he disappeared out back for a while. Knowing B, I guessed he was cleaning off the driveway or something to that affect. I looked in the backyard and saw this!! WOW!! It's snowing in Texas!!!

Then, I opened the garage door and this was what I saw of the driveway. So, he hadn't been clearing it.
Then, I looked around the corner and saw these footprints going toward the front of the house.

So, I walked to the front door and peaked out the window and saw this!

I kept hiding while trying to take the pics...





Then, I quickly remembered that every Aggie Bonfire needs a good orange t.u. Frat House (an orange "outhouse"). So, hoping he wouldn't come inside while working on it, I quickly went to work trying to create one for him. I had no idea what I was going to use to make it. However, as you can see, my many doctor's visits, lab work, etc., paid off today. This was a (TMI ALERT!!!) urine collection container that I never used. So, in my opinion it made for the perfect "outhouse!" Right? It was even orange!!!

Aggies say, "Beat the H-E-double hockey sticks out of t.u." However, I always said, "heck." So, B got to be the one to choose the word to fill in the blank.

Here he is getting the outhouse in place.


Look at how much snow we have...in Texas!!!
Sorry, back to Bonfire....

Hank loved the snow!
Each time I stepped into the street to take a pic,
he came to the edge like this and just laid there and watched me.


One too many dog pics, huh?
Clearly we don't have children...
Occasionally, he would eat the snow!!

You can't have a good Aggie Bonfire without sawing off those longhorns.
I will cut off the horns of all the wicked...
