Beachtime - Day 4 - Daytripping to Matagorda

 Good Morning from Surfside Beach!  We're up for the Golden Hour and have our toes in the sand while it is still fairly dark out.  Come along and watch the beauty that Mother Nature provides to those who slow down a bit and take the time to watch.

Beachtime - Happy Anniversary to Us! Days 1 - 3

 It is our 12th Anniversary and we are loaded into the car ready to make the trek to the beach for a week of rest, relaxation, and time together.  The car is PACKED! 

Morning Walking at the Zoo

 Fall mornings are the BEST time for zoo walking.  Mister has early morning entrance to the Dallas Zoo and we are off.  The TIGER CUBS are supposed to all be out this morning and I'm excited.  One is already two years old and the twins are approaching one.  Goodness, time flies.  Along the way, the tamarins are out and these babies have grown sooooo much as well.

Weekend Time w/Mister - Oktoberfest and White Rock Lake

Howdy!  I started out the day with a Red Hat luncheon (which you can see in this LINK) and added in a bit of Frisco fun.  When picked up by Mister following the fun, we are going to try out a new to us brewery - Rollertown Beerworks.  It's always tough trying a new facility, but made even more so when we are basically ignored after being served.  They DID accommodate my request for a real, not plastic, glass and that is a plus for them.  We watched as we drank an okay beer and only when we were about to leave did someone behind the bar start to interact with us.  The conversation from that point forward was delightful, but the beer just wasn't.  It is what it is.

We decide to give McKinney Oktoberfest a go and arrive just in time to check out a little quilt shop before turning ourselves over to the fun.  Dancers in the street certainly set the tone.

Red Hats in Frisco

For the second month in a row, I actually get to attend the Red Hat Luncheon.  Shock, right?  I know.  I also know I won't be able to go in October and possibly November as it stands right now so I need to enjoy while I can.

We are off to Gloria's in Frisco and that gives me a chance to explore around the grounds for a bit as our arrival is a wee bit early. 

There are depictions of a Cow Camp, complete with awesome sculptures.  

Autumn at the Arboretum 2022

 Ahhhh, once again we have arrived at my absolute favorite time of year and to celebrate, we are off to the opening weekend of Autumn at the Arboretum.  Come along with us and just enjoy the beauty of the season.  Minimal comments - great photos.

Oktoberfest Fun 2022

 I've been gone for a week and Mister has been carless.  We are out and enjoying the evening with a little bit of Oktoberfest fun at OHB.
