Brewery Hop Home from Abilene

 Traveling back home to Dallas on a Saturday is unusual for us.  It's normal to be on Sunday and few opportunities to stop are available, however, today is a bit different.  A quick search shows a brewery fairly close to the interstate and it's a new one to us so that's a bonus.  The town itself is new to me - Baird, TX.  Downtown is a quiet street with  an old railroad depot functioning as a museum at one end.


Jacob Graduation

 Another grandson is hitting the "High School Graduation" milestone.  These years just seem to by flying by at an ever-increasing speed. The rational me knows that is not actually happening, but it sure feels like it.  At any rate, the after-work, made dash to Abilene is under way and we arrive at the center with only moments before it is time to go in.  That gives us time for a few pics.  Yep, crazy hair alert going on here.

Spring at White Rock Lake

 Out of the house.  That is the plan.  Thinking about the lake area where the pelicans hang out has us with that destination in our sights.  It's an overcast, kinda wet day and absolutely beautiful at the lake, BUT - very few birds to see.  Maybe it's a time of year thing.  We're not sure.  There are some ducks and geese on land so all it not a total loss.

Birthday Season Fun (and Zoo time too)

 May has arrived and "Birthday Season" came along too.  Well, a shortened one at least.  I am leaving town on the 6th so, it's a grab while we can thing.  

Today is breakfast at Communion Cafe and we are treated to cartoons this beautiful Saturday morning.  Real cartoons.  The kind this old woman remembers.
