Valentine's Day Wedding.

Craig and Cassie will have an easy anniversary day to remember as they tied the knot on Valentine's Day. A very small wedding but a big day in their lives, and the lives of their 5 (combined) kids. Life is always busy at their house with 3 girls and 2 boys filling it with activity. Here's a photo of the happy family.

Another Birthday.

Well, another birthday has come and gone; they sure come around quickly. We made the trip to Dallas on Friday, the 30th, to attend Grandparent's Day at Chandler and Delaney's school. Since Friday was my birthday, we had a nice dinner with family and friends that evening. These are photos of the fun that ensued. I think everyone had a good time.

Cold, blustery day.

It's a cold winter day in Texas. Some areas are getting freezing drizzle and we are forecast to get some tonight. I am in by the fire, so thought I would try to get in a blog entry. This is the sort of day that makes you dream of spring and start planning the garden.

This is a photo of a large frog or toad who lived in a pot on the patio last summer. I'll bet he or she is hibernating somewhere and will be back in the spring. Often they dig down in the dirt of a pot and live there all winter.

Bluebonnets and Knitting in January.

I haven't done too well with my resolution to blog more and take more photos but I plan to do better. Today I got outside and did some things in the yard and that made me think about Spring. I have included a photo I took of Bluebonnets sprouting in our pasture. If we get some decent rains they will really start growing. On the opposite end of things, I know winter is just getting started so I have been knitting. The photo is of a scarf I am knitting on really big needles so it goes very fast. I used 2 different kinds of yarn I had on hand and it is looking very pretty. Easy, easy!

Happy 2009!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and let's all hope for a happy, healthy and promising New Year. I have several resolutions for 2009. My blog resolution is to post more often and take more photos. Stay tuned.

Back from NYC.

What a wonderful trip we had to New York City. I don't see how it could have been any better. We stayed in a really nice hotel that was convenient to so many things. We walked many a mile! You don't see many really overweight New Yorkers, and I can see why. They walk everywhere at all hours. The decorations were beautiful and lots of them. The tree at Rock Center was amazing! We say Jersey Boys, The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall and South Pacific. We had lunch at Tavern on the Green and visited the Nativity Scene at the Met. Visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Ground Zero. I highly recommend a trip to New York at Christmas time. The photos are of Tavern on The Green (crystal room) and the tree at Rockefeller Center.

Off to New York City!

The trip Sue and I have planned for almost a year is finally here. We leave early Friday morning and return on Wednesday evening. I'm busy finishing up my Christmas shopping and deciding what clothes to take on the trip.
