food, crochet, merriment
This little sweetie was the first to wake up. I’m sure she was thinking, “why is that lady still here?”
Merrick was really concerned about my foot. I told him it was healing still but doing so much better.
The guys had an Artist’s evening and everyone painted their own version of a masterpiece.
I feel so happy and relaxed being here. Who knew that someplace so far away could have the same homey feeling of actually being home.
Perhaps love has something to do with it.
This is my sweet, naughty boy who moved allllll the way to Texas with his pretty wife and two kids—far, far away from…me. What nerve!
So at last, at LAST!! Rhen and I made the trek to see that wandering boy and his family. Having to wear the ridiculous mask was slightly tempered by the fact that my sweet Rhenny boy secured us seats in First Class!!
Holy Moly! The leg room! The physical body room!! You know, when you’re a…ahem…sturdy mountain woman like me–you have to think of things likt that. Anyway, it was positively glorious!!
Driving from the airport, the first thing I noticed was all the TREES! Perhaps the rest of Texas is a barren wasteland–I wouldn’t know–but this area, Spring, Texas is called the Woodlands and for good reason!!
This is a huge statue of a young man laying back in the grass, relaxing. It might be hard to see but I’m telling you, it was huge!
But way, WAY better than the trees–and they were dang awesome– are my little Texas sweethearts.
Oooooh, I’ve missed them soooo badly!
Yeah, I have a feeling, I’m going to love this lush, lovely place.
Ohhhhh, Summerfest, how we’ve missed you!!
At last, at last we got to come back–after a silly year of lockdowns (boo)– and put out our blankets for all the festivities that were positively banned a year ago!!
We’ve been celebrating this day since my kids were the kids.
I’ve always believed that the best part of this whole June day is sitting in a lawn chair surrounded by the people I adore.
