Christmas Eve Blizzard 2009 .... a WHITE CHRISTMAS in the JIM NED VALLEY!

We might have been disappointed that our man, Colt McCoy, didn't get the Heisman :(,
but Christmas held no such disappointment!
It came wrapped in WHITE this year!
The hills around our Jim Ned Valley were blanketed with the purest covering we've seen in years!
Holiday traffic was slowed to a snail's pace, but our local residents got to see
what many had been "dreaming of" for a long time!
As I stopped along the roads, there were others precariously perched with me... just hoping that the demanded slower speeds would prevent our indulging in the pictures from fender bender possibilities!
May the end of 2009 bring in a stunningly brilliant 2010....
and may the joy of the season be blanketed in
PEACE that passes any of our understanding!

Snow in early March 2008, JN BB goes to STATE!

The weather in our central Texas location is always creative! Snow in March after a day in the 80's. Planting vegetables one day and shoveling snow the next. We love the diversity!

We take great pride in our local volunteer fire department.... and the whole community is backing our boys on their way to state after the girls WIN STATE!!! 2008... GO INDIANS!
You just can't beat a Perini's steak... and the Wine Festival is just around the corner in mid April.
The Abilene State Park is well maintained and has wonderful camping facilities for the entire family.
Whether you choose one of the shelters or one of the campsites, you will not be disappointed with the cleanliness of our park. Come out this summer and enjoy our country! We welcome you with our good ole West Texas charm!
