I'm Still a Red Hatter - Hard to Believe, Right?

 

As remarkable as it seems, I am going to attend a Red Hat function today.  In the crazy world I live, I wrote to our Queen, Cynthia, last April and actually said perhaps I should withdraw due to lack of activity.  This year, 2023, has been bonkers for me as anyone who follows my blog can attest to.  However, being the gracious Queen, that she is, Cynthia took my information and encouraged me to join in when I can.  Today, I can.  Hallelujah!!

It's time to have some fun and I'm dressed and ready to go.  Fortunately, a few new purple items have come into ownership for me and so I am not wearing the same clothes as before.

Hyrum and Zyra Come to Visit 2023 - Day 6 & 7 - Water Park and Good-byes

 Today is going to be an EPIC day.  Truly, for we are going to Epic Waters, an indoor water park.  I've not been here before, so we'll see how it goes.  Indoor is the big draw, for sure, as it is another cooker out there.  This will go down as one hot summer, for sure.

Hyrum and Zyra Come to Visit 2023 - Day 5 - Aquarium

 Back to back animal days!  So much fun for us old folks and I hope the young'uns see it that way too.  We are off to the Dallas World Aquarium ---- LOVE this place.  Before we even enter the building, this guy is greeting us.  The last time I was here he wouldn't even look at me and kept turning his back, making my grandson, Josh, laugh.  This time --- he's not so anti-social.

Hyrum and Zyra Come to Visit 2023 - Day 4 - Zoo

 It's ZOO day!  That's is always Mister's favorite and it was also a request of the kids.  I'm trying to help Zyra tame her hair down here as it does the same thing mine does --- puff up.

Hyrum and Zyra Come to Visit 2023 - Day 3 - Home and Golfing

 With temperatures over 100 EVERY day, we have opted for a quiet and cool day at home until Mister gets off work.  We are playing games and watching movies and just "chilling" out.  I've found a new miniature golf location and booked tickets for this evening.  One the way - a stop for treats and this is the size of the ice cream cones Zyra and Mister find.

Hyrum and Zyra Come to Visit 2023 - Day 2 - Illusions, Arcade, and Food

 It's Day 2 - what shall we do?  Grandpa has to work today, but will be able to play this evening.  He and Zyra are up to something - I just don't know what yet.  Maybe he's just getting her the internet, I don't know.

Hyrum and Zyra Come to Visit 2023 - Day 1 - I Fly and More

 Woot woot!!  Even though we just returned from a five-week, family trip and saw ALL the grands that don't live in Texas, we have two coming to spend a week with us.  I am just so excited and looking forward to the fun.  Their flight is sooooo close, and yet so far away.  For some reason, the gate is not ready for them.  I'm trying to be patient and remembering that their last visit, I was a running fool to meet their plane and this time, I'm all ready to go.  Ahhhh ---- here they come, at last.
