I have flown up to Provo to spend some time with Cass and help her with packing as she prepares to find a place of her own. We pack and donate and sell most of the day and then Mairead and Torsten put on a puppet show for us as a reward.

Unexpected Saturday Delight - Garland, TX
It's been one of those crazy, run errands kind of day. We've been to several stops, finished up our list, had lunch, and decided to drive over to Garland for a nice moment of relaxation. On the way, I mentioned that they might have one of the craft shows downtown and as we got closer, the whole square was indeed blocked off. After finding a place to park, we walked toward the brewery and discovered that there is an Art Walk going on AND it's an art fair, not craft - big difference. This could be fun.

Week Five at the Flower Zoo (Dallas Blooms) and more
Can you believe it's the fifth week in a row at the flower zoo? What will we find today? The minute we enter, I see that the wisteria is making an appearance and I can already smell it. I'm in love!

Dallas Blooms Week Four and More
It is Week Four of Dallas Blooms - I absolutely love going each week to see the changes and enjoy Mother Nature doing her thing. Off to the Flower Zoo (Mister's name for the Dallas Arboretum), we go. Outside the entrance, the tulips are almost finished.

St. Patrick's Day Parade and More
Wondering how to spend our Saturday, a decision was made to journey down to the St. Patrick's Day parade on Greenville. In all the years I've lived in Dallas, this is one event we have never witnessed. It's a train day! Who on earth wants to try and find parking where 125k people are heading? We park the car at White Rock Station and grab the train to Mockingbird Station.

Dallas Blooms - Week 3 and Fish and Fizz
A rainy/cloudy March day, but we are still spending time together. Deciding to try the Arboretum between rain storms, we stop for coffee at LDU and it is just so yummy. Cinnamon Swirl Bread and a Fritter top it off perfectly.
