Just Texas in March 2023

Bluebonnets

Don and I didn't leave the state in March.  
Picture
We did make it about 4 hours from home, though. We spotted a few bluebonnets along the side of the road.
Picture
Picture
In the good old Texas Hill Country, we saw some redbud trees and some bluebonnets. 
Picture
We were actually a week too early for a real bluebonnet display. But the drive was nice!

The Cabin

We made it to the cabin for a couple days. These photos are actually from February, when we discovered a broken pipe and had to wipe up the mess with beach towels. 
Picture
Picture
This time we met the plumber and all was fine. Except for that darn palm tree that was suffering after the same freeze, that did a number on our pipes.

Cheers

Weather was perfect!  
Picture
The temps were in the low eighties.  
Picture
By the second night the temps dropped to the 30's and we got to have a fire. Best of both worlds!

Oatmeal, Texas

It's nice to take our time driving to and from the cabin. I talked Don into a silly detour, so I could lay my eyes on Oatmeal, Texas.
Picture
Picture
I had hoped to eat some oatmeal in the town. But there's not much left besides the tall "can" and the windmill.

Old Buddy

Back in Sugar Land, I had a good reunion with my childhood friend.
Picture
Diane lives on the east coast, but was in town for work. Don made us Mexican martinis and we had Texas BBQ.

Then & Now

Diane and I had a lot of fun as kids in Iowa, trick or treating and riding bikes. Sadly, our only photo as kids together, is one with Diane's head covered.  
Picture
Picture
Since Diane moved away after third grade, we've managed a few adult reunions. We always make sure to get some photos. This reunion involved a  visit to Houston's Funeral Museum. 
Picture
The museum is actually amazing and not a bit creepy. We wandered and talked and learned  little and had some fun.

​Posing
​
I posed on a designated "selfie spot" posing circle... with colorful caskets from Ghana.
Picture
Picture
Diane removed a "Do Not Touch" sign from an exhibit that celebrated famous animal actors... who have died. The retro TV & TV tray scene, was right out of our childhood. Diane did not touch the exhibit, I promise!

Pearls and Bowtie

You know it was a quiet month, when I have time to spotlight our evening of TV. We watched the Academy Awards with French 75 cocktails and popcorn.
Picture
Picture
We dressed for the event. (pajama bottoms out of view) and we texted with the kids, since we had all voted on winners. I tied for last place. But we made it through he whole award night without nodding off!
​
And That's It!

So I'll end this simple post of March with more flowers. 
Picture
Yep, there's my bear again. A simple month with time to take photos of that Little Bear!

    Happy List  
    ​

    I started this blog, by thinking about the things that make me laugh and smile. My "Photo a Day" posting began on May 27, 2016.  I had just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and I found I could keep things positive, by sharing some of my favorite photographs. After 7 months, I stopped the daily habit and aimed for monthly posts. 

    ​Now, at the end of each month, I look back at all the things I enjoyed in the weeks before. I share some photos, along with a few words. It's a good reminder to myself, to feel grateful every day.
