Surprise!! Jen, Jared, and Josh Visit Brazos

Surprise!!!  I turn around at quilt retreat and my daughter is standing there. Right behind her are Jared and Josh.  What a fun treat.  Once Jen says hi to everyone, we are off for a bit of fun.  They boys have never been here and since it's full of animals, there is a lot to see.

The donkeys are first up and Jen has cut some apples to share with them.

Mister Turns 60 - Party Time

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISTER!!!!

Okay, okay.  I know it's not really his birthday yet, but I will be out of town on the actual date so we are celebrating today.  I have sent out some invitations and just about everyone I invited is attending.  Very fun.  We are bringing together a mix of old and new friends, along with memories all along the way.

Red Hat Valentine's and a Contest

Live, Laugh, and Love was the theme of my quilt retreat last weekend and with Valentine's upon us, it seems fitting to carry it right on through.

I am not absolutely sure that I will attend today's Red Hat event as I have really missed my sweetheart and it's the last weekend I have with him for awhile.  It's also his birthday party this afternoon and I still have things to do for that.  However, the idea of fun with my Red Hat Sisters wins and now I'm racing to put together a hat for the contest.  Someone mentioned just adding hearts to a hat and for some reason my mind just opens and everywhere I look I spot something I can use.

Morning Visitor

As I walked into the den this morning, I just happened to peek out the back door.  We have a visitor and I know these aren't the best pictures but by the time I got closer, he/she saw me and took off for another roost.

A New Smile

Seven months and eleven days in the making.  I have a new smile.  Here's to a better 7 months.

District 9 - A New Neighborhood Spot

I've been out of town for the past 11 days and during this time Mister must have spent some time looking for a new spot to visit.  As luck would have it, he found one right in our own neck of the woods.

District 9 --- no, not either of the movies that come to mind --- is a new brewpub with a German flair.
