Im infamous for taking pictures on top of toilets, just a little added fun when Im out with my friends. haha! Here are just a few of them.

Ok, so I'm a little past "quarter life" ... but not much. I'm nearing year 29 rapidly, and I think its the weirdest feeling I've had in awhile. This will be my very last Twenty-something (20-old, thank you, Jeff) year. I just had my 10 year high school reunion, which I didn't attend (I love you, Se…

The riverwalk is a little like Venice *although I've never really been to Venice, but I'm guessing the canals might look something like this.  One night I went to Knibbe ranch and learned all about long-horns and armadillos and beef cattle.  (Did you know that some ranchers…

So we're back from yet another trip! And a completely different experience that was. For one, everything went off EXACTLY as planned!! Not a single hitch.. not a single deviation. And that was all thanks to the Hubby! Usually I decide where all to go..what all to do.. when to go.. how to get th…

I was just out and about exploring around the Texas Hill Country, and thought I would take in the sites and events for Luckenbach's 150th or 160th birthday.  I have been here other times but never saw a band playing.  If you are anywhere close by I suggest stopping in and having an expens…

After Ewok's scare from last night, we decided to hit the Riverwalk and the Alamo early in the day before the crowds arrived. We got to the Alamo about 9:30am and already there was people there.  On weekdays they open at 9.  Parking SUCKS in downtown.  Expect to pay $7+ in the parki…

I have been to many places through out the years, but the most memorable trip i have made was to London,UK. I fell in love with the city, so rich in history and varaeties of cultures and traditions. I am definitely planning on going back sometime in the near future. Those of you who had an opportunity to visit London are lucky, whose of you who didn't - this is one of those "must see" places.

A hill country hamlet complete with blacksmith shop, post office, beer joint, dance hall and cotton gin. Luckenbach is best known for the song by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson written by Hondo Crouch.  Willie Nelson has been known to spend many stoned nighs by the fire. Luckenbach was se…

The Texas Gulf coast has miles and miles of beaches.  You generally don't see anything about them in any travel guides though.  Everyone has heard of South Padre Island and the Spring Break festivities that occur down there, but the area up near my home town isn't as well known.  I l…

Today is Aunt Murrel’s birthday and our last full day in Amarillo. We made plans to take Aunt Murrel to lunch, but we first had to have breakfast. There was left over chocolate gravy, and fresh biscuits, eggs, bacon, and sausage were cooked up. It was pretty much a repeat performance of the day b…

In August 2006, my ex and I had gone to San Antonio to consider relocating from Las Vegas to the Texas Hill Country.  He was from the Houston area and said if he ever moved back to Texas, it would be the hill country only.  We went out for a long weekend and …

This is my backyard in the spring of 2007 before a storm. Also, some flowers.
