Fall! In Georgia! It is real, have you heard? The weather gets brisk and leaves change colors! Like, not green to brown, but real colors in between! Small revelation, but hey, that never really happened back in Texas. Getting to wear leggings every day of the week. yeah! (this is my dressed up version with …
Well, with Michael gone to Ranger School for the next 58 days (3 down!) I have just a bit more time on my hands, to say the least, so I might as well throw a little creative energy this way. Looking back, time absolutely flew through the last four months of Michael’s IBOLC training (Infantry … Continue reading »
Can you believe our wonderful packers & movers used THIS MUCH packing paper? …… Oh wait, there’s more…. I got lost! Fun stuff. This is prime for the making of a Texas snowball fight.

The potatoes are inspired by his adorable Sicilian grandmother’s fried potato slices with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and (our version) whatever … Continue reading »
Interesting day at Burley’s auction in New Braunfels. I’m realizing how hilariously little I know about guns. It shoots? Great! $3000? Why? Oh wait, sorry for the fuzzy picture, but this pistol “shipped to Charles Goodnight in 1881″ went for $26,000…?! I clearly don’t get this. Very cool taxidermy and old bookcases though!
