Texas

Went to Texas to help get our daughter and son-in-law moved. Even with their incredibly busy schedules they were able to show me enough of Austin that I immediately fell in LOVE with it! Amazing place... First town in "Texas Hill Country" that we came to. Germans settled it and it still has that German flavor. Awesome place! I could live here in a second! Fredericksburg. Austin, Texas. I don't think they had his size... Allen's Boots. This is just a small sampling of their selection. Texas Skies Food Trucks on South Congress in Austin. Austin Morning "Gourdoughs". I have no words to adequately describe the fresh "donuts" made when you order. You haven't lived until you try one! "So Cool." "Yarn Heaven" Something for everyone at Big Top Candy Shop! More Big Top Candy Shop! "Girls of Austin" -- taking a Sunday stroll along Ladybird Lake. "Fetch!" Austin Skyline "Hula Hut", on Lake Austin. "The Saddle". They were the musical entertainment while waiting to eat the best BBQ in the world, at The Salt Lick. From Austin to Fort Worth by Amtrak. Fun train ride! So, THIS is a shanty! From the window of the train. Back in Time. Backcountry Texas Wildflowers

Fun With Grandsons!

Our darling grandsons and son came to visit! One of the first things we did was to go to the White Sands Missile Range. SOOO exciting for boys! A Real "Flying Saucer"! Actually flew here from Roswell, New Mexico. Fascinated Missile Range Base Next, on to White Sands National Monument - most picturesque place for photos! Shadows Another World Raleigh A Walk in the Sand - Cardon High on a Hill -- Lincoln Looking Both Ways Richie -- What's Better Thank Mexican Food? "La Posta" in Mesilla, New Mexico

Color Makes Me Happy

A woman with a spinning wheel at our Farmer's Market spun all this incredible goodness! My entire life I've wanted to learn how to spin. Why haven't I? Spinning and watercolor painting. I will learn how to do those two things before I die. I'd fill my home with both.


Gorgeous yarn that she spun.
