Fall is in the Air!

Here I am trying to "fallize" my living room. I bought a few pumpkins (mantle) and some fall flowers ( which I'm proud of my arrangement--it looks orange, but it's really red) and of course put out my reliable red apples. It looks cute, but no comparison to my daughters' fall theme.

A Night At The Symphony

Les and I decided to go to the symphony for a little culture. I was mentioning that we might go to Danielle and she said they already had tickets! Since they were going, that made the evening more fun. It was spectacular! Nikolaas Kende is an unbelievable pianist! What a performance!After hearing him perform, we enjoyed meeting Danielle & Mike at Cheddar's for some refreshments. What a nice evening!!!

6th Month Anniversary

Well, here it is 6 months of marital bliss! We have had lots of fun and lots of adjustments...it's a rewarding challenge.

Our dinner was going to be at Diamond Back's, but they were closed due to the Labor Day Holiday, so we went to 135 Prime or is it Prime 135? Anyway, we had a very nice dinner of wine, New York Strip steak , garlic mashed potatoes and delicious salad. Oh, and wonderful olive bread.

After dinner we came home and opened presents. Les bought me a pretty diamond ankle bracelet--unfortunately it was a little small so he's getting that taken care of today. A nice surprise!!! My gift to him was a Cross ballpoint pen (not pictured). It's really pretty but not quite the equal...although he really liked it.

We sat on the patio under the stars and listened to music...and reflected!

It was a very nice evening and a special memory!

Girls' Weekend

What a fun time our little "foursome" had in Plano! Yummy lunch at Central Market, shopping, more good food (Freddy's was so cute & delicious) and lots of conversation and laughter.

Had fun with McKinlee while Susanne and Chris shopped. She is a great little kitchen helper! Two pans of brownies and even cleaned up!!!

san antonio trip

Danielle covered our trip quite well on her blog, but might I add...we did have fun although there were a few negatives! Hence the spiders and no power were "biggies". The IMAX was beautiful --almost like scuba diving . The shopping turned out good! I have some new outfits... Anyway,

here are just a few pictures. I didn't get my camera out very often. I'm going to try and start posting more.

Luncheon with the "kids"

It's been so long since I've posted I had to call Danielle for help! Does that tell you I've been busy settling in back in Waco! We did have a fun luncheon with "our kids" while Staci was here from Florida. We met in Lewisville and my girls got to meet Leslie for the first time. We had a good lunch at Saltgrass and some good laughs...
