Fun day in Big D..


Hubby and I decided to head into Dallas for the day....

we stopped and had breakfast at Mom & Daughters Diner...

I didn't get any photos of breakfast...
to busy eating I guess....
then we were back on the road...


there is always traffic in Dallas....


we reach our destination....
Fair Park....there is a lot to do here...


we went to the Science place 1st...
a young lady gave us a couple of free tickets...
one free pass to the IMAX....
one free pass to the planetarium...
We Saw Dolphins at the IMAX...
then Texas skies at the planetarium..

Dolphins was excellent....
the Texas show was informative.


we stopped for snowcones...


did a little people watching.....

hubby turned me loose on the nature at Fair Park.....
of course you know I took a ton of photos....
I will be sharing more with you...
so get ready....
He was a good sport to hang out....
while I snapped at everything in sight...
I treated him to Lunch on the way home...

Howdy from hot Texas....

It was a long day today....
I was up at 5:00 am doing paper work....
shut down the office at 7:00 pm.....

I think I made a tiny dent....
(no we didn't get any rain....)
it's that time of year for us....
even though I complain about the heat...
it is good for our business....


tomorrow will be a repeat day....
atleast it is Friday....
going to meet old friends for happy hour...
something to look forward to after a hard day...

I love having little britches with me every day....
it makes the day better for sure...
his little smiling face....
watching him grow...
watching him learn....
definately worth the tiredness I feel at the end of the day...


Are you a fashionista??
I'm definately not....
but I love shoes....
especially sandals and boots...
they don't have to be name brand..
or designer....I don't like to spend alot on them....
recently I found 4 pairs of shoes for $12...
at a local thrift store....the were all like brand new..
I felt like I hit the jackpot....
what was your last jackpot buy??

not a drop of rain in these clouds....
but they were sure pretty to look at....
My daughter is going to get to visit here:
can't wait to hear all about it....
when you have a craving...
is it sweet or salty???
I think I'm more of a salty than sweet...
I like crunchy.....love popcorn....
with a big ole dill pickle....
a green apple....with a little peanut butter or cheese...





looking for some moisture.....
they have to work a lot harder to find it.....
2 more weeks and my daughter will be home...
we are looking forward to it....
she is sure having a great time..
working hard...not able to keep up
with her blog like she wanted to...
thank you to everyone that stops by to visit her...
also a big thank you to everyone that donated
to her 3 day walk for a cure fund....
if you want to know more about it I have
a button on my side bar just click and see her progress...
blogging buddies are the greatest....
people that you have never met....
may never meet...come together...
with encouraging words...
I learn something new every day from you all....
stay cool.....
Send a prayer up for our government....
Lord knows they need some help to do the right thing...
off the soap box now...
