Place: Sad in Richardson Comments: It's with tears & heartbreak i must let you know our good friend Ada Ann passed away. She had the heart valve replacement on 10-31-24 and then spent 9 weeks at a rehab center. She came home Friday, 1-10-24 & had a heart attack Sunday 1-12-25 and passed away. Joe tried to save her with CPR but neither he nor the paramedics could save her. She will be cremated & Joe will let me know when a service will be held.
Place: Sunshine in Richardson Comments: It's 10 am and the sun is shinning brightly here! Unfortunately all that fluffy snow (about 4 inches) turned to solid ice overnight due to the low temps. But with highs in the upper 40s and sun today it should melt quickly. Tomorrow and the rest of next week look great!
Place: Snowing in Richardson Comments: Ww got a little sleet early & then started snowing about 8:25am today. We've had some really big & beautiful flakes falling. Still snowing at 9:30am but temp is 37 here. Supposed to get lots more snow late today & tonight. But, it's N. TX, will be in low 40s and all gone by Saturday!!
Place: Waiting for the snow in Richardson Comments: I wish it were only snow! As of last night they're saying sleet and some ice starting early in the morning before sun rise and into mid-day. Then, snow to follow. I've spent several hours getting all my stuff ready to cover my shrubs (the ones planted in March of 24) this afternoon before dark. Also 3 big pots outside. Don't know if it will all work, but gave it my best shot. Snow Ok . . Ice . . .NO! Hope everyone will stay in and be safe for the next 2 days!
Place: Very wind in Richardson Comments: Right about now a fire in the fireplace tonight and a hot cup of coffee is sounding pretty good! We're going to have bout 5 days of really cold weather. Temps dropping as we go thru the day but the wind is gusting very strong. Bring your fur babies in and don't forget about your pipes. Stay safe and stay warm!
Place: New Year in Richardson Comments: Happy 2025 SOCites!! A new year and the promise of new beginnings and opportunities. My wish is for all of us to have better health and to see each other more often. Here's to a great new year and our continued friendship. ![]()
Place: Richardson Comments: With only a few days left in 2024 and we approach the new year, it brings back good memories of days gone by. Hope everyone had a safe and good Christmas. My wish for the new year is for no more crazy people shooting up our schools and killing kids and teachers. Also, for our politicians to start working together to take care of our nation and bring us peace and better conditions here in the USA.
Place: Fulshear, TX Comments: Happy 37th anniversary of our 40th birthday to my twin SNL. As you may remeber I quit having birthdays after my 40th. Seriously, Happy Birthday to my twin. I do not post very often =, but I do check the Guest Book regularly to keep up with what is going on. Thanks again for all you do to keep us all in touch with each other.
Place: Sachse Texas Comments: Hold on there, Sandy. I have had it marked on my calendar the 22nd for years. NOW you tell me that is wrong? Oh well, one day one way or the other. Like the man said, "it was a lot more fun being 20 in the 70's than it is being 70 in the 20's.
Place: Richardson Comments: OK, hold on. Let's not rush making me and Jerry a year older any sooner than absolutely necessary! It's tomorrow, the 23rd. Can't believe I'm going to now be declared to be in my "late 70's" Say what??? Seems only a few years ago I wasn't even 50!Thank you Jack for being a good friend and you've always been there when needed and I'm honored to still call both you & Jerry my ol' Lisbon Friends! Happy B-day tomorrow, 23rd, to Jerry. Hope it twill be a great one for you and you celebrate with your great family. We Lisbon people just keep getting better with age!
Place: Sachse, Texas Comments: December 22. A very special day. It is the birthday of two very good people. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sandra Norman Lynn, AKA SNL and my brother by a different Mother, Jerry Tillery. I have know these two (and a few others) since starting at Lisbon Elementary. Life has taken us many different places and different experiences through the years, but somehow not separated us. Something about our common childhood and upbringing has bound us and keeps us in touch. I have relied on Jerry throughout the years and he has always been there for me. I hope I have done the same for him. Sandy and I lost touch for a while but she has helped me since regaining our friendship. I value and treasure, not only these but many other, friendships. Today is SNL's and Jerry's day. Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, may we celebrate many more together.
Place: The Woodlands, TX Comments: The Randle Lions of Richmond are indeed a remarkable team. The high school only opened in August of 2021. The school is named for Dr. Thomas Randle who was a Fort Bend County Supervisor for some 20 years. His son, Brian Randle, was chosen as the very first football coach when the school opened. In a mere three years he built this championship team. SOC was trailing most of the game. Even suffered the humiliation of having the opening kickoff returned for a TD (never a good sign). In the 3rd quarter SOC briefly took the lead but from then on it was all Randle. Still, after all these years I feel proud the Bears made it to the finals in a division that started with 170 contending schools.
Place: Richarson Comments: Darn it, we lost by 3 pts. That last few second wide left field goal that would have put the game into overtime, missed by a mile. But they put up a good fight. So proud of our SOC Bears!
Place: Uvalde Comments: SOC lost a heartbreaker when last second field goal attempt was short and wide. 38-35.
Place: Uvalde TX Comments: SOC plays for the State Championship tonight in Arlington Texas at AT&T Stadium. The game will be broadcast on various cable television channels. |
