It’s Monday. And not just any Monday ~ it’s post prom Monday.
My little itty bitty baby, Sara, went to her senior prom on Saturday night.
I know. I know … not-a-baby-anymore. Sniff, sniff. [Read more...]

You’re gorgeous. How do I know?
Because right now, Austin is flooded with these fabulous red admiral butterflies.
Yesterday while I was watering plants in my backyard, one of these little guys landed on my shirt. Slowly opened and closed his wings, as if to say hi … then just as quickly as he arrived, he happily fluttered away. [Read more...]

I am distracted. My girls are graduating next month. And it’s spring in oh-so-gorgeous Austin.

I think this might be the perfect spring salad. Roxann shared this a couple weeks ago at bible study and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. It’s light and delicious and an Ina recipe, of course.

I love Texas in the Spring. So many reasons. Bluebonnets, sun showers, green popping out everywhere. And add to that one of the largest antique shows in the nation right here in central Texas. Yep, I’m talking about that ginormous antique fair in Round Top, Texas.
Cat and I headed out yesterday morning. Just an hour from Austin and such a delight. We saw all that and more. And I took my camera to entice you with photos from our trip. So you’ll get a friend and get to Round Top. Because it will make you so happy. ;) [Read more...]
