New York Family Visit

A few pics of my cousin Joseph & Denise's adorable children, Sean & Jake, and my Aunt Lynn, in NY. They invited us over to their beautiful house, for a delicious dinner during our visit. It really brought back memories of Kevin & Danny at that age! More NY photos, as I find time to post...

Austin Race

Danny enjoyed a great race weekend in Austin, earning a 2nd & 3rd place finish, and Kawasaki contingency $. Kevin & Rachel joined Andrew & Danny at the race, while Mom stayed home, sick. It was so much fun that Kevin & Rachel plan to drive up on Sunday for another one. Pop Pop is feeling better, and resting at home. The antibiotics he's had to take for the infection and pneumonia seem to have helped his back pain. Papa C will be driving his vintage Camaro pace car in the laps-for-charity event at TX Motor Speedway tomorrow evening. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Quick Post

Trying to catch up after a week on vacation and a bad cold. Had a GREAT time in NY!!! Pop Pop is in the hospital recuperating from pneumonia and a bacterial infection. Aunt Lynn and Missy fly back to NY today; wish I could have seen Missy while she was here. More soon...

NYC!!

Leaving soon for 6 days with Mom in NYC!!!

Happy Labor Day

Thanks to Shannon for lending me her zoom lens for my NYC trip next week, I also borrowed a tripod & head from Arlington Camera, while I was there finalizing Steph's homecoming mum, and headed to Grapevine Springs Park in Coppell this morning at sunrise. First stop... McDonalds iced coffee, no sugar. Pretty sure I was the first human in the park this morning. I eventually spotted another hawk - there must be quite a few of them calling the park home. I have *SO* much to learn about my camera, but had fun experimenting for about an hour. Headed to Wagon Wheel Park before going home to laundry/chores. Andrew took another bike ride - he's gotten back into a regular exercise routine - I need to follow his lead! Looking forward to 5 days in NYC with Mom! Cousin Donna will pick us up at Laguardia, Mom will head to Long Island with Aunt Lynn while I visit Donna, Jenn, Thomas, Uncle Allen & Aunt Gloria, Glenn & Lynn over the weekend. Spending 2 days/1 night in Manhattan, the remainder on Long Island at Aunt Lynn & Uncle George's. Pop Pop organized a pool tournament at their apartment complex, Danny & Danielle went to a Cross Canadian Ragweed/Robert Earle Keene concert at the Fort Worth stockyards, Kevin & Rachel went to a UT tailgating party and played sand volleyball. Sounds like a fun & relaxing long weekend for everyone!

TGIF

We are going out to dinner for Gong Gong and my birthdays tomorrow night, and Kevin & Rachel are driving up for the weekend! GG & PP are so busy at their new place that we are lucky to get an evening of their time tomorrow! Danny is racing in Oklahoma this weekend; hopefully that "cold front" will kick in. Mr. Fix-it has been busy installing a new ceiling fan to replace the one that broke in the guest room, helping a friend with his son's dirt bike, it's always something! I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderfully handy man. And a handsome one, too.

Weekend at Barbara's

I'm too sleepy to write more than a line or two, but had a WONDERFUL weekend with my dear friend, Barbara, and her husband Gary, in East Texas! It felt like a fun time at a bed & breakfast, with good friends and a few friendly pets, too.
