I love the silhouette of tree branches against the sky.

Busy weekend

We had a nice visit with Janice and Kenny. Saturday, Janice and I went to an estate sale, the Junior League's Attic Affair (garage sale), Literacy Council's book sale, Original Fried Pies, (where the owner told us that his were not as good as Mom's but they would remind us of her, and he was right.) Their coconut and apricot fried pies were yummy! And we stopped to see the old house Jim is working on that will open as a doctor's office soon. Nice job Jim!
Then we ate at Samurai and Kara and Joey went with us. This morning we ate brunch with Janice and Kenny before they headed home.
Saturday was cold and super windy, but today it is calm, the sun is shining, and it is supposed to reach 70 degrees. A beautiful spring day!

Art Show

Tonight we went to Midwestern State University Fain Fine Arts Center's show. My siblings, Joe and Maurine are pictured showing off their talent from the pottery classes they took there. Maurine was even interviewed for MSU's TV station news. We thought the top picture with Joe and Joyce in the background was interesting as it looks at first like Joyce has a crazy hair style, but if you enlarge the picture by clicking on it, you can see that it is either Ryan or Jared's profile. (I think Jared? but it is hard to tell)

Then we went to Salt and Pepper for dinner. It was so nice, great food, live music, and great company. Janice and Kenny are here from San Antonio and we all had a nice visit.

Today, it was sunny and warm with a high in of 85, but tomorrow brings a rain/snow mix with up to 30 mile an hour winds. Tonight, south of here in Montague County, they are having thunderstorms and tornado warnings! The cold and warm weather are duking it out!

Gracie, College Graduate

We had a nice family gathering today to celebrate all of Graciella's hard work. She graduated from Wayland Baptist College today. Kudos Gracie!

We had a nice visit. There were five us of kids there (just minus Tim) with Gracie's family too.

Iris bloom

Last year when we had Mom and Dad's house on the market, we all dug up some iris bulbs to plant in our yards. I planted a few on Mom and Dad's grave too, but they are still just leaves about 5 inches tall. This is my first one to bloom this year, but it looks like I will have several. Thankfully, there are a few left at the house so Kara can enjoy them too. Daddy was always so proud of his irises.

Q & A

Went to see Slum Dog Millionaire with Garry, Gracie, and Mickey. It was very good. Garry and I have read the book, but it has been such a long time since I read it. The movie had some changes too. The original book was called Q & A by Vikas Swarup. I love reading about different cultures.
