Revamping the Office

So, I arrived home from a day with friends to discover the beds totally covered, chairs and armoires shoved everywhere, and general chaos.  Mister has decided to put together his new desk today and in his mind, that means the whole office had to be unloaded.  ????

Just a Night Out

It's Wednesday, which makes this date night a little different, but hey, I'll take it anyway.  Down at the Lakewood Growler there is the little Hispanic lady that comes along on Wednesday and Fridays and quietly asks each person if they want any Tamales.  We have purchased them before and decide that it makes an easy dinner for tonight.  Yes, of course we would like some.  Beer and tamales.  And time with my sweetheart.  Priceless.

Now, getting Mister to take a selfie -- just a wee bit harder.  Such is life.

Winter has Arrived

SNOW!!!!  It's crazy but when the first flake fell, DFW Facebook friends knew it and spread the good news.  Just a skiff resulted, but oh I love it so.

There a some things I miss about living up north.  When I was sick, I couldn't handle the cold at all --- now, it's much easier and I do miss the snow -- to look at.  I don't miss driving or shoveling it at all.

Several time throughout the afternoon, Mister and I just stood and looked out the door.  Doesn't it make you want to snuggle?

Happy New Year!

It's 2017 --- crazy.  It means I am one year away from being 60.  Scary.  The day has been a bit rough around the edges but ended with a lovely meal prepared by my sweet man.  Mimosas with fresh squeezed orange juice and a ribeye steak.  Yum.

I hope this year finds everyone happy, healthy, and ready for new adventures.  I know I am.

2016 - Year in Review

Another year in Texas!!!!  I am still loving this state, more than I can say.  A Montana Girl I will always be, but . . . . gotta love Texas too.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this year and all that it brought.  Some not so good, but most crazy wonderful.  Here's the recap -

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is upon and since Mister and I rarely spend New Years Eve preparing or participating in the whole "party" scene, it's a great day to do other activities as the crowds are just not there.   We are just going to have a fun day together on the last day of 2016.  Am I sad or glad to see it go?  Well, in all honestly, I'm kinda glad.  This year has definitely had it's rough spots and I'm looking forward to some new experiences next year.  Fingers are crossed anyway.

The Dallas Museum of Art opens at 11 a.m. and since that's our first destination, I guess I should get dressed and ready to go.

The reason for the trip is that there are two exhibits we have not yet been able to immerse ourselves in and don't want to miss.  The first is "Divine Felines:  Cats of Ancient Egypt" and the second is "Art and Nature in the Middle Ages."  Both are absolutely wonderful and as we slowly work our way through them, we discover numerous items to peak our curiosity and gets me questioning.  Yep, that's me -- always wondering.

We also check out a wonderful batik exhibit (that's an entry all by itself so click HERE) and then are surprised with "Shaken, Stirred, Styled:  The Art of the Cocktail."  As we enter, Mister spots one of the collections and points them out.  What fun.  We own that set too.
