Bluebonnets and Aunt Julia's Birthday

-







We drove up to Huntsville this weekend to celebrate my great-Aunt Julia's 80th birthday. We took our time on our drive up and saw some beautiful spring wildflowers. The town of Brenham was breathtakingly pretty. We stopped at one point and took some photos in a patch of bluebonnets that seemed really popular.
Taking photos in the bluebonnets is something that you do if you live in Texas, but it's been hard to do since we've living in such extreme drought conditions this year. We had to drive a few hours east, but we found them.
It was a nice weekend and a great opportunity to see the Davis side of my family that I so seldom see. They had a crawfish boil and it was so fun to watch Davis and Sam watch the crawfish. Enjoy the pictures.
Happy Spring everybody and Happy Birthday to my lovely Aunt Julia!

Hi! Your bluebonnet photos are lovely! It sounds like you all had a swell time at your Aunt Julia's Birthday. It's a cozy rainy day in Tucson, and I just bought pasteries from La Baguette on Pantano and Broadway. The women who still run that place have known me for 15 years! It was heartwarming and nostalgic to see them. I miss my boys (your boys)! I hope y'all have a wonderful Easter!

Winter Park Weekends

  For two weekends in a row, we have rented our favorite condo from our friends and spent the weekends in Winter Park. It is SO fun! Davis has a trestle downhill pass and we meet our friends the Rileys and the Perrys (our mountain bike family) and the kids ride all day, I hike around in the mountains and we have communal dinner either at the rigs or at the condo. The first weekend we met everyone up there after the Heritage back to school dance which turned out to be a germ factory. I drove up Aidan and Sam after school on Friday. We unpacked and then had a lovely dinner at Lime before coming back to the condo where the boys watched John Wick and I took a long bath. Michael, Davis and Garrett came up late after the dance and we all fell asleep. That Saturday was lovely, but quite cold. Sam and G tried downhilling with the others and really enjoyed it. Michael and I got an activity pass and did the alpine slide a lot of times. We read in our adirondack chairs by the lift and ate lunch a

 In between Winter Park weekends, Michael celebrated his 50th birthday and Rosie celebrated her 1st. Michael chose to have a quiet birthday after the big polo celebration and stay in. I decorated a little, we ordered in Thai food, watched the new marvel show, What if?, and had delicious ice cream from Heaven. Rosie had a cookie and lots of pets.

Polo Weekend for Michael's Birthday

Friday Photos: Saturday Photos: Sunday Photos:  This year we got two tables at DA2030's charity polo weekend. We invited all our favorite people to help Michael celebrate his 50th birthday. Mom and Paul and Tiffany and Keith and Cheris and Rob and Steven and his girlfriend Amber all flew in just for the weekend!  Our local friends joined in too and we had a party! Mom and Paul got us a limo as Michael's birthday present for Friday's fancy night at Wings over the Rockies.  Cheris and I got our hair and nails done. Christin and Suzy went to get their makeup done. I had four dress options for Friday night and due to a lot of factors, ended up wearing a completely different one at the last minute. I was stressed as it really wasn't dressy enough, but I looked okay in it and it was comfortable so that was all good. The weather was warm, but not too smoky from all the fires so that was okay. Michael has quit drinking and was worried about how much fun polo would be without bo
