ON TO MARCH 2012 ...

Well, made some progress with my January/February post, so March had more activity.  I should also say that during the first two months of the year we added a new patio to the front of the house, and new landscaping, much more curb appeal.  But, for now, let's see what happened in March ...

     Carin and Dylan arrived on the 16th for a long weekend, and the highlight was our trip to Sea World ...   

Arriving at Sea World, and YES we were having a fun time!

While it appears that Dylan is not having a good time, not the case ... we were just discussing our next venue and he was being overruled :) but still having fun!  We enjoyed all of our favorite shows, including the Aquarium ...



and Shamu ...

the strength and beauty of this mammal will always amaze me, I could watch Shamu for hours!  We enjoyed a wonderful day at Sea World and then the long ride home, poor Rascal left alone all day.  Of course Saturday evening was Mexican food at Tamale King, and then Sunday morning Carin and Dylan headed to Iola.

I should add a picture of our Bluebonnets, this year they almost took over the driveway, so here they are ...



Okay, we're on our way updating, so stay tuned and you'll learn of our trip to Michigan to visit Henry, Melisa and John ...

2012, HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S SIX MONTHS GONE

SO ... thought I'd try to catch everyone up-to-date and post some pictures of the first six  months of the year ... here we go, with January and February.

As I recall January was somewhat uneventful, the real activity began in February, with finally a many postponed trip to Salado with Eli and Sharon ...

and here we are ...

It was rather cool that day, but a good time was had, with lunch at the Stagecoach Inn, a bit overrated but it's the history we were after.  We also discovered the following ...



Who knew that Liz Carpenter, President Lyndon Johnson's Press Secretary was from Salado.  It was a fun-filled day, as always!  Well, this is a start to my update, that's all for tonight, will continue with a new post next week.  Until then ....

How time flies ...

well, back in April said I was going to start "blogging" once again, and haven't .. been busy, still am, and we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Girl W (I say July 9th) so ya'll know what that means, road trip!  Think I'll try to upload some pictures on the laptop to the blog, the desktop no longer wants to participate in that venture, so stay tuned.

HMMM ....

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted even a word, just been so crazy busy with life in general.  There is hope, while life is not slowing down at all am thinking that within in the next week I'll find time to gather my thoughts and blog once again!  Stay tuned ....
