I love it when the sun and the sky are in a good mood…a good enough mood to impress…

My daughter and I were having an early al freso dinner at a neighborhood sandwich shop when I noticed how beautiful  the sky was.  I love scenes like this and I can get used to seeing such a display everyday. t’s a beautiful sight.  It helped me relax and forget about life’s stressors…even for just a short time.  Because really, how can one think of, say, best acne treatments, when the skies are partying right in front of you?!

Cheers, y’all!

Summer is hot, hot, hot!  It’s been so hot these last couple of days that we’re close to requesting our landlord to install bathroom fans in the bath and powder rooms of our  townhome! Hee hee.  Our annual beach excursion with friends last week couldn’t have come at a better time. It was a short but sweet vacation but it was nevertheless fun-filled!   Summer heat is just more bearable when you’re at the beach having fun.  But you know that already.

We’re staying put this summer, reserving more exciting travel (outside of Texas, that is!)  for the latter part of the year.  Nevertheless, we are enjoying and loving every bit of our STAYCATION.  I love that every now and then, we get wonderful surprises from Mother Nature herself!  Take this beautiful sight for example…

Well, hello, sunset!  How’s that for an outdoor fireplace?  I took this photos using hubby’s I-phone while driving home.  And we didn’t even have to spend a penny for this wonderful treat!

Cheers!

We were in Irving, TX on the the first day of Spring.  That night, it snowed.  I was thrilled for my brother-in-law who got to experience snow for the first time.  My little girl was excited as well as most children get when they see snow. The following morning, it didn’t come as a surprise when we saw the cars in the hotel parking lot looking like this…

Snow we can handle.  But hail? No thank you. The last hail episode in Austin, I’m guessing, got a lot of people buying affordable car insurance.  Because really, who wants to drive around in a bedimpled car?

On February 23rd, neither new nor  used golf balls were flying over this golf course.  The reason is quite obvious…miracles or all miracles, it snowed in Austin!   We’ve been living in Austin for a few years now and this was the first time we’ve ever seen this much snow.  It was snowing the entire day and we loved it, my 5 year old most specially.  It will probably take a couple of years before it snows this much again.  Although, I certainly hope not.   Just one fine day of snow is all we ask…for the little kids to make their snowmen…and for us kids at heart.
