Any guesses? Fine print: You are not allowed to play if you’re part of the small group that actually knows the answer to my question.
Vacation
Tour Time: Rahr Brewery
We made the most of our time in Fort Worth while on staycation. Of course, we toured Mrs Bairds Bakery. Then we headed to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (The Boy and I had toured it before, but our friends hadn’t), before heading to tour Rahr Brewery. I’d read about the brewery in various […]
I Love Bread
I was able to do many cool things growing up in Kansas. I don’t regret it one bit. But once I moved to Texas, I realized that I hadn’t gotten to do one thing that nearly every kid in the Dallas-Fort Worth region gets to do: tour Mrs Bairds Bakery. For quite some time, the […]
Spice is Nice: Avery Island, Louisiana
This weekend, we crossed another item off the 101 List – we went on a daytrip to Avery Island, Louisiana. Avery Island is the home of The Boy’s favorite sauce, Tabasco. It’s obviously not just his favorite sauce. Tabasco has a royal warrant, which means that it has been purchased for use by the Queen of England for at least […]
An Unplanned Day
The thing about unplanned days is that you don’t plan for them. Obvious, right? But what I mean is that an unplanned day sneaks up on you, catching you completely unawares. That’s even more true with an unplanned trip – you find yourself planning on the fly, adjusting as best you can, trying to keep […]
A Hayley Get-Away
The Boy and I had a bit of a mini-break last week. Thanks to the combination of a wonderful Christmas present from the Baby Sister and a stay-and-play event planning promotion, we were able to head to White Bluff Resort for two nights and three days. While there, we spent a goodly amount of time […]
The Long Road Back
Why does it always seem that the end of vacation arrives so quickly? Even though we had a full 9 days, with very little jet lag to slow us down, the morning of departure came before we felt ready. I suppose that means we were having a great time, right? We’d packed the night before, […]
Finishing Well
We awoke early, with refreshed feet and revived spirits for more touring on our last day. But first, we headed back to The Boy’s office for a final bit of work, followed by lots of hugs and promises to stay in touch. {I’ll say it again – what a wonderful group of people!} Then it […]
Because Risky Behavior Is So Much Fun
We joined The Boy’s colleague, A, at church Sunday morning. Several of the members were away at summer camp, so it was a small gathering but was oh-so-wonderful. Worship time Even more wonderful was making a new friend with the lovely woman who translated the sermon for us, O. After the service O and I […]
Return of the Tourists
We’d heard the smoke-smog would likely return over the weekend, so The Boy took the opportunity to head for a morning run while the air was still clear. Five miles later – with an endorphin-boosted mood – The Boy was ready to tackle whatever agenda I’d put together. Good thing, too, since I drug him […]
