White Rock Walkin'

 Escape from the house for a bit has us walking at White Rock Lake.  As we are driving up to the location we normally park, I spot one of the eagles in a tree.  This is an unusual sighting for us, so we head over to take a couple of pictures, if possible.  No special camera equipment along today - just my phone.

Austin Getaway - Just Us Two - Day 3

 Ahhhh - it's another great morning in our little cabin in the woods.  Loving this break so much.  Tea and birds again, but a lot chillier today.  The sun is struggling to be out.

Austin Getaway - Just Us Two - Day 1

 Guess what?  Mister surprised me with a small trip down to the Hill Country for a few days.  This is so nice.  He has rented a cute little cabin and we are just going to put the world out of mind for a bit.  Perfect timing.

12/13 - Our first stop this morning is at the Waco Mammoth National Monument.  I had no idea this place even existed and am super excited to check it out.  We've got tickets in hand and are heading down the path.

8th Annual Cookie and Ornament Exchange

 The day has arrived for my annual party.  All the work is finished and I'm ready for fun.  This post is a look back at getting here and the day itself.  Enjoy.

10/28 - While in Montana, I found this cute Santa and he is perfect decor for the party.  He's ready to greet guests.

 It's that time of year once again.  The process of going from autumn to holiday decor.  It always happens in stages and so - here we go:

Nov. 27th - This is where the house is with my return from retreat.  What a mess!  The big bag contains some new items purchased while in Burleson.
