A Cowboy Prayer from The Pioneer Woman

Gotta love this Cowboy Prayer, which was posted by Ree Drummond, on Thepioneerwoman.com, a very addictive blog which makes most blogs pale by comparison!

May your horse never stumble,
Your spurs never rust,
Your guts never grumble,
And your cinch never bust.

May your boots never pinch,
Your crops never fail,
May you eat lots of beans,
And stay out of jail.

We're Bringin' it to NY

Hang on Rangers and Yankees, it should be a wild ride this week....!

Kaleen and Brian's Bridal Shower

I was honored to be invited to Kaleen and Brian's bridal shower last Saturday, in Mustang, Oklahoma. What a fun time! A delicious brunch was served, and then the "oohing" and "ahhing" began. Brian was excited when he opened a huge Craftsman tool set, but most of the gifts were beautiful household items for their new life together. It sure made me wish there was such a thing as a "Been Married 25+ Years, Need New Stuff" shower!

Quick Trip to Austin

Enjoyed our quick trip to visit Kevin & Rachel! We enjoyed seeing where Kevin works... SicolaMartin ad agency in downtown Austin.... here's the view from the floor-to-ceiling window just across from his desk.

Pumpkins at Sunset

Hunting for pumpkins, I chased the last bit of afternoon light, and found some in an unusual spot... the local Ace Hardware store. I love the muted colors and matte texture of the gourds. Added a "poster edges" filter.
Murr C & Papa C traveled to Marshall today to visit kin, Andrew & I are headed to Austin on Saturday, burnt orange flag flying, to visit Kevin & Rachel. Gong Gong & Pop Pop will be moving to their new house at The Lakes of Frisco in a month! The gypsies are on the move again!

Cute Shoes & Nail Polish!

Having raised 2 boys, there weren't a lot of "cute" clothes to ooh and ahh over. It's now so much fun when Danielle or Rachel come over, dressed in their adorable clothes & shoes!

Eighties!

Eighties! Not disco dancing and parachute pants, but COOLER weather! Not a single day in the 90's is predicted in the 10-day forecast... this is cause for celebration! Meeting Gong Gong this morning for coffee, headed to Arlington Camera tomorrow morning, then watching Stephanie play in a tennis tournament. Andrew's hobby has mushroomed this week into full-time garage duty this weekend, so my camera and I may need to go exploring!
