May Day to Memorial Day!

Early May
​

We had no big weddings or graduations this May, but we found ways to celebrate. Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby landed on the same day. Sometimes that requires a costume change.

Celebrating Houston's Art
​

In mid May I had one of those perfect days with lunch and a museum visit. Houston's Museum of Art had some fun surprises. What fun to witness a new bamboo exhibit being installed AND to catch my first glimpse of the new shiny Cloud Column!

Mother's Day
​

It was a treat having Heidi home for Mother's Day. We had pool time, games and a lovely dinner out. We avoided the Sunday Brunch crowds and enjoyed some lox and bagels and home!

International Fun!
​

Don and I hit the Polish Festival one weekend and I danced at a Greek Festival a couple weeks later. One evening, I learned the Hula with a great group of women. And then there was the usual mix of international dining. I love Houston's diversity. 

The Royal Wedding

​Don and I cheated and taped Harry and Meghan's wedding on the 19th. At the last minute we grabbed the Royal Doulton china, some fake flowers off a shelf and we toasted some English muffins... and made our own event. The wedding ended up delighting us more than we ever expected!

Memorial Day Weekend
​

It was 100 degrees at Lake LBJ, over the holiday weekend. Don and I walked 2 miles to get to the annual BBQ picnic.  We amused ourselves along the way, posing with odd mailboxes.

Cooling Off
​

After the messy bbq feast, children ran towards the firetrucks and played in a sea of suds!

Back Home
​

The day after Memorial Day we headed home and found 24 baby ducks in our own neighborhood lake. What a perfect ending to the month of May.
