More about camping
I’ve had a few questions about our camping trip, so I thought I’d treat you all to a play-by-play of the weekend. (follow along via Ofoto pictures) We drove out to Colorado Bend State Park, near Lampasas on Saturday around noon, and arrived at the park around 2:00 p.m. Lindsay had snagged a tent and […]

My new adventure
Sorry for the blue not-so-great photo above, but I just had to post something before I exploded, and it’s the only picture I had. What you see before you is my new place of employment…or one of them anyway. I am now cooking and serving breakfast at two bed and breakfasts just a few minutes […]

In the rough
This weekend we went camping for the first time in forever. We slept in a tent, snuggled in sleeping bags, toasted marshmallows, cooked over an open fire, went hiking, swam at the springs, and had a great time. I’ll post more about it later, but for tonight, I’m exhausted, and I have an early morning […]

Cafe Roux
During our recent spring-cleaning, I found some old frames that we were ready to get rid of. I decided to use one of them to personalize Roux’s dining area so he would feel more at home while eating his three little scoops of Science Diet a day. I used sticker letters, a photo of us […]

Wishing
Last night I was treated to a wonderful birthday dinner with my husband and a few of my close friends. After a scrumptious dinner at East Side Cafe (I gorged on the brie and chutney appetizer), we went to Chad and Lindsay’s home for a homemade, chocolatey yummy birthday cake prepared by (who else?) Leti. […]

Happy birthday to me…
Just me, wishing myself a happy birthday. Today I’m 27. Much closer to 30 than 20. Getting a little scraggly around the edges, maybe some wrinkles? Last night I dreamt that I found a white hair on my head and said, “My first white hair! And on my birthday even!” I was not happy about […]

Que chulita!
My family came to visit us this weekend. My mom, my dad, my sister, and her two children all piled into my dad’s new truck and drove seven hours just to hang out with us for a while. We shopped and ate and talked and hugged and had an all-around good time. It was a […]

Beans, beans, good for your heart
There’s nothing like coming home at the end of the day and smelling a pot of beans simmering in the kitchen. Beans are so simple, so yummy, so cheap. We prefer black beans, because they seem to have their own distinct flavor and don’t need much to make them delicious. My basic black bean recipe […]

The boys
Allow me to introduce you to a few of the men in my life. Pictured above is Ernie. What can I say about Ernie? He’s sweet and loving, and he’ll just sit in front of you all day as long as you pet him. He’ll lay his head in your lap, or sometimes just offer […]

Just another day
So I guess Roux likes towels. First he christened our towel-rug, and now he’s taken over our towel basket. He curls up in it and sleeps there, and we end up having to wash the towels since they’re covered with Roux hair. Today I took Justin to the orthopedist, who said he had chipped part […]
