Weather for the Week/Good News for Ski Resorts/Which Vegetable is Losing

HURRICANES AND WEATHER
The weather is wet in California this Sunday. This is very good news for the ski resorts!!! And there will be another round of snow next weekend. Finally, the west coast is getting some weather! The rest of the country is fairly quiet this Sunday.

On Monday, rain returns to Texas and there will be some showers along the outer banks of the Carolinas, snow showers over the western Great Lakes states and some scattered snow showers and rain out west from California eastward through Nevada. The northern plains and Great Lakes will be the cool spots with highs in the teens and 20s.

Houston will be partly sunny today and then cloudy with showers on Monday. Monday will be chilly with lows in the 40s and highs in the 50s. There will be more showers on Tuesday with lows in the 50s and highs in the 60s. Sunshine returns end of the week and this coming Saturday looks pleasant with sunshine.

SPANISH WORD OF THE DAY
Let's do diet (after yesterday's candy and yummy food). Now a regular diet is just dieta, pronounced dee-eh-TAH. But if you are going on a diet, you would say hacer dieta, pronounced AH-ser dee-eh-TAH. I hope to have a better dieta this week!

Of course one of the number one things kids think about is food. That is why the first volume of our award winning DVD has a chapter devoted to food and drink. Kids pay attention because we show them things they care about. Give them the gift of language and entertainment. Order Let's Learn Spanish with Frank & Paco from www.frankandpaco.com/.

AND MORE
And speaking of food and healthy things, our poll about favorite vegetables will close soon. So far no one has voted for broccoli...poor broccoli, it has so little respect--remember President George Bush senior didn't like it? Get your vote in before the poll closes. I'll have poll results and a new poll tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a fun Valentine's Day. Have a great week everyone!
