Just a post for me to remember how strange our Texas weather was during the last week of February and the first week of March. Warm then wet then cold then warm then sleet then snow then warm then sleet then snow. Odd indeed. Plus over the same two weeks I worked from home for […]
Fun
Texas Highways
Is there anything better than a beautiful day, on the road, without a care in the world? I wish every day was this simple.
Leadership Plano: What The Fuss is About
In a fit of unreasonable schedule assessment, I applied to be a part of Leadership Plano. And I have to say, a little unreasonableness is a good thing every now and then! Leadership Plano is an educational program, a leadership development program, a … well, it’s many things, but primarily it’s an amazing opportunity offered […]
Tackling Embroidery
I’ve finally conquered part one of a failed past with handiwork craft: I embroidered! (Still to be addressed: My impatience with cross stitch, knitting and crochet. But one thing at a time.) I started with an easy-peasy project – a sweet little bib for a sweet little girl that’s on the way for a dear […]
The Craziest Week (in December)
Even nearly a month later, I look back at the insanity that was December and shake my head. What was I thinking? How did I survive? Take this week for example… SUNDAY – Church, followed by Kelly’s company’s holiday party. Ugly Christmas sweater attire, of course: One more, just because it still makes me laugh: […]

Big Tex – the fair wasn’t the same without you in 2012. Texas dairy farmers making free strawberry smoothies…yum. We pet a baby crocodile!!! Me: Can […]
Why Kelly Loves Texas
In the midst of a rousing group sing-along to “God blessed Texas” midway through the Brad Paisley concert, Kelly turned to me and said: This is why I love Texas – it’s just the best state. And full of a bunch of drunk proud people. Source
Best Surprise Gift EVER
There was a package waiting in the mailbox when I got home last night. After I ripped off the outside, I found a little gift card: What was in the package you wonder? Only the BEST SURPRISE GIFT EVER. Ever. EVER. (And proof that my dad reads my blog and has a great sense of […]
Celebrating the Fourth on the Third
Kelly and I went to Addison’s Kaboom Town last night. It’s somewhat sad that we’ve lived in Dallas (off-and-on) for 16+ years and I worked in the Addison area for 11 years, but we’d never gone to Kaboom Town before last night. What’s up with that? Apparently, Kaboom Town is one of the top five […]
