Sweetie Time

After returning from retreat, I ask Mister for a quick date night and he is happy to oblige.  What a sweet man.

Spring is in the air and beer is on the counter.  Perfect.






Let's Add Some Color to the Porch

I am once again leaving town and Mister is on his own.  Perhaps he needs something to do?  While out grocery shopping, I find myself filling the cart with these plants.  This is easy, he just needs to feed them and hang on the front porch.  Instant decor.

When I return, I discover that he has done just that and it looks lovely.  Hello Spring.

D.C. With Jen and Jacob

I have been given the choice opportunity to once again go to Washington D.C. with my daughter and grandson.  Two years ago it was with Jon and now it is Jacob's turn.  Today is the day we depart.  My fight is not until almost 10 a.m. but the bus from Abilene is arriving early and we are on our way to check in with them.  Along the way, Mister discovers that he timed the trip for the bus as if it was going to our house.  Thus, we are now late.  Great start for a trip.

I arrive at the airport and have to wait outside security until someone inside can get my boarding pass to me.  After about 1/2 an hour, I am able to meet up with Jen and Jacob and begin the wait for our fight in BRIGHT NEON t-shirts to boot.  Yep, with my red hair, this is quite lovely.

Wine Night Out

Jimmy's is having a wine walk complete with antipasti, thus that is our destination tonight.  We need pasta and sauce anyway so it's a great excuse to kill two birds with one stone.

I love these nights with my sweetheart.  I ALWAYS learn something new and it helps me to understand the wines that I enjoy.  Tonight is all about Tuscany.  Sangiovese is their main grape and since it is one of my favorites, all is right in my world.  Thank you, Mister, for another wonderful impromptu date night.

ROBINS!!!

We NEVER have robins and today there are about a dozen of them in the backyard.  These three were right up next to the sliding glass door.  What a beautiful start to my day.

Weekend in Abilene

Jen and Louis are sneaking away for a couple of days to celebrate their anniversary and that means Mister and I to the rescue.  Yep, Mister is going with me but still has to work today so we make a VERY early morning drive,  In fact, it's so early that I get to watch the sunrise through the side mirror as we go.  With a quick coffee stop as we near the house, we arrive right around 8 a.m. and my sweetie sets up a work station while we visit with Louis for a bit.

Change is Good - Right?

It seems that I have been gradually preparing for today.  Each time I get my hair cut and bit shorter and with the whole "growing out of bangs," I think I'm ready.  Let's go.

I gotta tell ya, by the time they (and I say they cos it took two of them to get the job done) are finished with me, there is hair EVERYWHERE.  Literally.  As I stand up, even my chair is covered in it all around where I was sitting.  Goodness.

It's gonna be a change for sure.
