Mister has once again snagged tickets to an evening at the Arboretum. The temperature is decent and a walk will do us both some good. As we arrive, I notice that the statues I had been expecting have arrived. ZimSculpt is all throughout the gardens, however, I will only show a few. Y'all need to go and see them yourselves.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Easter Weekend has arrived and it's just us again. We've decided a little bit of family would be nice and still have the chance to wander together so we are off to the Lake Whitney area. Jen and her crew are camping there for the weekend and we are just gonna stop by and spend a couple of hours. But first --- coffee. Overflow Coffee Company in T B Bond Emporium is perfect. We are able to nab a seat and people watch for a bit.
We tried and tried to get into a weekend of Dallas Blooms - all to no avail. The new "sign-up, limited availability" makes it almost impossible to go each week like we used to. It also makes me question the value of my membership for the first time. I am concerned that open admission will never come about again and that WILL change my purchasing. At any rate, this week we WERE able to get in with a Member Moring admittance.
I'll just share a few pics for y'all to enjoy.
