US Open

Angela came in town and we all went to the US Open. Somehow Bryant and I have eluded this event during our years as New Yorkers.
If you ever want to become a tennis fan, go to the US Open.
yes, that is Williams/Williams in the background!


OUR ADVENTURE... IN A NUTSHELL

Back in NYC

We all arrived safely back to our 700 square feet of home! Ida helped with the unpacking extravaganza.

When we finished, Ida and I quickly celebrated with a walk through Riverside Park to meet our new friend... Wylie.

Wylie is Ben and Lizzie Lee's (no relation) new golden retriever puppy! They are becoming fast friends... and they like to kiss a lot!
After a long day of playing with Ida...

Our Week in Dallas

On the way home from Lost Pines, we had a mandatory stop in West, TX (that's West Comma Texas). Anyone who frequents I-35 between Dallas and Austin knows the glory that is a kolache from West. The Czech Bakery, though housed in a gas station, is famous for its unbeatable sausage kolaches and amazing fruit kolaches! It seriously is one of the reasons I am proud to be a Texan!

Another I-35 wonder... the Monolithic Dome Insitute. CLICK HERE to learn more.

Ida loves a good roadtrip across Texas!

The Averitts, the Perkins, and the Lee's are all due within weeks of each other. What an exciting holiday season we are going to have! (successfully breeding HPHS legacies)

Our friend, Charlie Averitt, came to visit Ida while we were in town. He kept a safe distance at first, but soon realized that a basset hound can be fun!

I even got to see my double-niece Perry (aka: Miss Thing) who just celebrated her 2nd birthday!

So long, farewell Reunion Arena... I will always cherish our memories of Alan Jackson concerts and Mavericks games (the old school ones with Shawn Bradley and Jason Kidd (the first time))

We marked the end of our Dallas week and summer in Texas with Mama Jan's 60th Birthday Party: Champagne and Cupcakes!

Lost Pines


To celebrate the end of a crazy summer, Bryant, Ida, and I took a mini-cation to the Hyatt Lost Pines in Bastrop, TX!
Needless to say... it was AWESOME.

Bassets for Obama

If I had seen this video before the election, my vote may have been different...
