- " It all started 6 years ago when I was watching KPRC Houston and Khambrel asked everyone what they were cooking for Thanksgiving 🦃. I downloaded the App. The rest of the week, just about every photo of my goodies were featured on the weather during the broadcast.... Over the last few years, I have shared over 400 photos. Frank Billingsley has used 5 for his weather blogs too. Pets are always a great way to get Khambrel’s heart. Big Momma, Miss Goldie, Sunnybud, Miss Little and my rescued doggies. Thank You for making me a Part of The KPRC Pins Family. Truly Thankful for the beautiful words. Feel like we are forever friends.” - Miss Bonnie Lee Parker
