Family and Friends

As Spring is gearing up, getting out and around is the things to do. Last weekend began with Friday night movies with my BFF and then dinner. We meet in the middle at a town that is good for us both, so a little drive first...and I love a road trip!

We saw the new Nicholas Sparks movie "The Longest Ride". I think the book was better, but it was still pretty good. I really like Clint Eastwood's son.
Saturday Stephenville had their annual "Native and Heirloom Plant Fair". It is held on the museum grounds which are beautiful. I enjoyed checking out the plants and everything the fair had to offer, with my daughter and grand-daughter. Amy loved the bunnies that were there. I just love hanging out with these two!

Texas is having a real Spring this year. More rain than years past and many days in the 60s and 70s.
It is so nice, so on this day we had to keep warm.
After the fair, we visited a new restaurant in town for brunch. What a treat.

What day would be complete without a little shopping.

I think we wore Sweetpea out!

 

 

 

Sunday I did one of my favorite things....Yoga

and with a dear friend. She is my daughter from another mother :)

 



Brunch was served in a beautiful setting.

On our way home we found some Texas Bluebonnets....and couldn't resist a photo op!

Spring is here!

Flowers are blooming and we have even had a little rain.

Although west Texas is still in a very sad drought, there is water in some of the ponds around here. As spring begins, I am excited about projects and getting outside. Sitting on in the porch swing. This swing has been in my family for 4 generations!

I like lists so I have been getting to put a check by a few lately.
One was a small interior remodel. My new home was built in 1958 and has a gloriously large kitchen/dining room.

I love it but wanted more of an open concept to bring in more natural light from the windows

I miss John doing these type projects, but I am learning how to get things done on my own. I found a very reputable handy man and he did a great job.

I had a "pass through" done in the wall between the living and dining room.

There is a large picture window in the living room and dining room so with the wall partially gone, the light is so much better in both rooms.

Next on the list- a new couch!

Easter was a wonderful day. Brad and family were here for the day. Since it was raining we had an egg hunt inside the house! Fun

 

More projects to follow....

 

Do you have projects?

 I would love to hear about them.
