With 19 grandchildren, I knew the day would come when the college graduations would start. It's here and I'm leaving retreat for a drive to San Angelo to witness Jon's graduation. I have about a 3 1/2 hour drive this morning and the ceremony is at 10. I manage to arrive with about 20 minutes to spare and it was a lovely drive this morning. I didn't stop to take any pics but will try on the way back this afternoon - yes, I'm driving back as well today.

Birthday Week (4th - 6th) - Includes Roaming For Gnomes
My birthday week is always such fun as my sweet Mister goes above and beyond to make it happen. We've already been out and about but here are some highlights for 2023:
4th - Birthday dinner out at a new to us place right in our own neighborhood - Cedar and Vine. Sitting on the patio is always a bonus and the night is wonderful due to the company. My love.

Birthday Season - Saturday in the Metroplex
Good Morning! It's the first weekend of Birthday Season and I love just having the time with my love and being able to go where the wind takes us. Mister wants to go to the Farmer's Market in McKinney this morning and I found something unique to see while up there. I present to you "The Laughing Jackass." Check out the LMAO at the base.

OHB Easter Egg Hunt 2023
For the third year, Mister and I are off for some childish fun. An adult Easter egg hunt at OHB. Joey is there with BBQ and my fav White Rock Porter is on tap. Perfect evening for us. They are doing things a bit different this year and each egg has a raffle ticket in it. They are only putting out as many eggs as they have prizes, so everyone wins AND you are limited in the number of eggs you can find. Men get one and ladies get two. Yep -- taking it and don't care if it's discrimination. The doors are opening soon and everyone is getting ready. Off we go. Here are a few pics I got before the room filled up ---- yep, I went it early. You can tell the eggs are hard to find.

Dallas Zoo --- Baby Hippo, Giraffe, New Maned Wolves
Member Morning! Spring is here and walking at the zoo in the early hours is AWESOME!! I love it so very much. The animals are just starting their day and are mostly pretty active, which makes for fun pictures. New critters have made their home here and we are on our way to meet the Maned Wolves. As we round the corner, something is happening with the flamingoes and arguments have ensued. They are LOUD.
