Ideas are a little thin on the ground this month--I've been focused hard on a few projects, so I'm just going to drag you on a trip down Memory Lane. :0)

Here we go...

 

Puck Soup Live Show in Deep Ellum in 2018. 

 

My first cruise December of...2014 I think.

A view of the game from one of my first live games...

Lots of fun times to remember, but many more to look ahead to. DD and I are planning and working to fund our next Buc-ee's road trip. Tennessee here we come.

Have a great weekend.

It's been a week...


And it's been a week...

Work has been crazy busy and needed all hands on deck, so I haven't had much opportunity to do more than my job.

But here it is Friday again and yet again, what a relief. I guess it's time to catch up a little.

Easter was uneventful as it has been since the kids all grew up and moved out. I did buy one small goody each for DH and DD and that was the extent of things.

The weather has been up and down and we've had late cold snaps--which is nothing to complain about really considering my family in Colorado and Nebraska both got snowed on. I am, however, definitely ready for the super cold to get lost.

The food logging continues to pay off. The weight loss has slowed, but is still happening. I have about four pounds to reach my target. I also began my targeted workout routines. My abs, arms, and glutes are getting their workout and have been making their presences known the following day. The glutes routine might need some tuning as it's the top of my thighs complaining, not my behind.

As I was writing this, DD called to say our local WalMart had 4-pack of toilet paper again, so yay. Not that we need it with the two 12-packs we've bought in the last couple weeks, but it's nice that some things appear to be getting back to normal.

Speaking of getting back to normal, our governor will be announcing his plan to re-open business across the state. Texas has been lucky, although we still need to exercise caution so as not to trigger a second wave.

Digging into the photo archives last week was fun, so let's do it again...

I miss Friday Night Lights with Sonshine.

DD and I need to make another trip to the zoo--once things are reopened.

Ah, that my backyard still looked so neat and tidy.
I had to give up feeding the birds at some point, but the bird bath is still there.
The bed itself is all overgrown however.

Have a great weekend and stay safe.

Back to School -- Speed Traps


Yep, it's that time of year again... We had tax free weekend recently, and back-to-school sales are in full swing, but another sure fire sign of the impending school year, especially if you live near a school. In my case, there are two, no, three elementary schools and the high school in close proximity. The middle school is too far to actually affect us.


So today as I turned onto the main thoroughfare, there were two motorcycle cops in the church parking lot with their eagle eyes and radar guns. School starts next Monday and it's time to remind motorists just exactly what the speed limit is!

School buses will be out en masse soon too! Only Sonshine ever rode the bus to and from school, and that was only during middle school for like a semester. Once he got to high school, it was before-school band practice and after school band practice or football games, or, in the off season, it was his favorite after school activity keeping him there until six o'clock.

Do I miss those days? Not so much the days themselves, but certainly the reason for them: Sonshine.

Still under the weather...


Been reading and resting as much as possible. I'm pretty sure I'm staying ahead of it, but my immune system's fight is wearing me out. I scarcely spared a thought for today's post until the last minute. So I'm gonna peruse past images and post some favorites.

 GI Snow... part of our Redneck Gingerbread House scene.

 A trip to the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, TX.

 A trip to the beach in Rockport, TX.

 Being a fan girl--having a get together with like-minded friends and celebrating the love of our fandom.

 Getting together with dear writer friends in OKC.

 One of many, many, many Friday night football games with the marching band.

 A trip to the Fort Worth Zoo, with my DD.

 Line-dried laundry...

 A Studio B Studio tour in Nashville a couple years back. Awesome.

 What can I say...

 Definitely a day worth celebrating!

 My beautiful children. My daughters don't love their brother at all, do they??

A trip down memory lane...

Lovingly painted by Grandma Y for my sonshine back in 1996--a gift for his first b-day or Christmas; I can't remember which since they were (and still are) a week apart.
