Last Minute Road Trip…

Bluebonnets, taken along the side of Highway 290, between Brenham & Giddings, Texas.

This weekend was the weekend for seeing people from out of town. How fabulous! Kathy was in town from Dallas for her friend’s son’s first birthday, so we got together at Elaine’s to watch Rumor Has It and hang out.

Saturday was a daytrip to Austin. In December when we went to Kentucky, I met the creators of The AntiCraft at ReBelle, the local yarn store. We had a fabulously good time hanging out with Zabet (Renee was out of town, or I am sure we would have had a great time with her too), and Patrick even saved our Christmas Eve dinner for us by giving me a Guinness for our beer cheese soup that we wanted to make on a Sunday. (No beer sold on Sundays in Kentucky.) When we were there, Zabet told us that she would be heading to Austin at the end of March for a wedding, and we made plans to get together.

She flew into Austin late on Friday, and we headed up Saturday to spend the day having a fun little tour of yummy food (Iron Cactus and Amy’s Ice Cream), a trip to Hill Country Weavers and then time at the bridge to see the bats. Zabet saw za bats! (Oh, that joke … it never gets old.)

We got delayed a bit on our drive, because there was just no way that we could pass all of those bluebonnets without stopping.

It was a short trip, and I wish we could have spent more time there so we could have seen everyone in Austin. Soon. I also wish we had had more time with Kathy, so we need to plan now for her next trip to Houston and for our upcoming Dallas visit.

Today was spent editing more photos from the recent shoots, and then taking photos of Hanna & Michael’s daughter Emma. Such a sweetie! I plan to have both sets of baby shoot proofs done within a week.

Whew! Right now, I think I need a nap! Busy weekend, including a new episode of Pointy Sticks, and there is going to be a very busy week ahead!
