The past three days have been a whirlwind of sorts. Friday was an absolute roller coaster of emotions. David and I spent the first few hours of the day providing emotional support for a couple of friends. It’s not my story to tell but I will say I was reminded of how difficult it is…
Just because
I haven’t shared a picture of Shiloh in awhile. Here he is wearing his Grateful Dead bandana and playing with his Mr. Bill doll. This afternoon we are having friends over for games and pizza. Shiloh LOVES company – so many more people to pet him. It’s going to be a good day.
Adventures in Austin
Have you ever had one of those weekends that was almost too fun to talk about rationally? Well, our trip to Austin last weekend was one of those. Train travel, a nice hotel, live music, great friends and a beard competition – what could be better? I think I’ll let the pictures do most of…
Catching up
It’s been close to a week since I last posted here so a little catching up is in order. Friday night I came out of hibernation and we went out to dinner. Afterwards we went to hear our friend, Mandala, perform: The guy playing drums on the ice bucket played soccer for David for many…
Since we couldn’t be in New Orleans…

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 21 “Peace”

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 13 “Family”
I rarely want my picture taken but I asked David to take this of my mom and me tonight. We had gone to the McSwain Theater to see “It’s a Wonderful Life”, my favorite Christmas movie. I love what Clarence the angel inscribes in the copy of “Tom Sawyer” at the end of the movie:…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 12
David and one of our pirate friends, Papillion I am so incredibly thankful for our New Orleans friends. In recent years David and I have been blessed to make some of the best friends anyone could ask for during our visits to New Orleans. These dear folks have welcomed us to their beautiful city with…
