The softer side of lunch

I love the word "confit."

What time is it?

Time for lunch ... French style ... in Dallas. Yum.

State Fair Noir

Life is good.

How could I resist?  Life is good.

Outstretched arms with freedom

Reminded me of a prayer..."Oh God, help me to see the truth of who I am, no matter how beautiful it is."

A split second moment

It's just a benign photo taken in a parking garage. But the moment before I took this photo, I was really taking a moment to just really enjoy the gorgeous day!  The blues in the sky and in the glass of that building contrasting with the inside of the garage was breathtaking for a split second.  It was a deep breath I remember.

Nappy Time

Its nappy time at my house. Its what we do. If you were here, you'd do it too!

Texturee

I love the lake. White Rock Lake. Peaceful, beautiful...lots of texturee things to look at and touch. I love the lake.

The artist at play

Poehls at her art show. Sold three pieces at the time I left. Yay, Poehls! Way to pull out a great show!

In Denton

A neat little ashram in Denton. Very peaceful.

Notable and fortunate

Again with the auspicious double whammy!  Love when this happens. I find glee in the smallest things.

Barney in da house

Barney. At my office. Um. Huh?

A greeting

Hi, I'm Jack. What's your name?

Self Portrait Sunday

Playing with the new app on my iphone. Couldn't get the cat's face in the picture, but had a good time trying. Love my phone's camera!

Shoe stalking

Shhhh!  I'm stalking my sister as she shoe shops.  Oooooo..wait a minute...cute shoes!  Momma loves her some shoes.  Pretty.  Okay, back to stalking.

My favorite Char

There she is. Charlotte. Love her. Great friend!  Laughter non-stop. Cosmic.

Patty goes retro

There's my girl..hanging out in the window, waiting to dance a jig. Like me, she finds it hard to wind herself up. Time to get back to work.

Vegee-tables in the raw

In the kitchen with cute boy, watching him work his magic. He's very organized. It's a sight to see. Nice work, cute boy.

Mush

Mush. Rooms. Close. Up.

Its so obvious

Walking down Henderson on my way to dinner. I wonder where I should have parked.

Savoring a brief vacation

My expression of leaving a brief vacation and going back to work today.  Missing it already.

The beginning of the compost

The apple core was lonely in this new compost bucket...so I added some popped popcorn kernels.  Yes, people, this is the glamourous life.

Oh, I'm SO scared

Yeah, this "horra" film didn't seem so horrific, given that it was directed by Fruit Chan. Go figure.

Oh hail the bells

Beautiful facade of a building ... a church.

Ahhhhh....

Had an early breakfast at Garden Cafe and sat out in the garden.  So wonderful!  Oh, and the sweet potato pancakes are to die for!!

Um...

Yeah, because that looks SO much better.

Cottage trees

Woke up from a two hour nap and proceeded to write my grocery list. This is what came out when I started. I think I should have fallen back asleep at this point. Cheesey.

Saturday dim sum and then some

Had my occasional dim sum day with Kerry and drove past this place along the way. Love that they left out the R in Karma. I felt less than compelled to go see the love specialist who can't spell. Namaste.

Arts District Block Party

This is the glass artwork in the cafe at the DMA. Walked around the arts district with cute boy and enjoyed the weather and all the goings-on. Love the museums.

My skate, my peace

I love skating in the evenings at the lake. Awesome.

My piece of peace

Moments of peace. Quiet. TV off. Making cranes. Sounds of summer outside. Reading about human potential. Nice evening. Love.

Fender Bender

Bummer. Luckily the light popped back in. Small dent noted.

Kiddo strikes a pose

Fun with sculptures

He's big and he's metal and he's fun. He's the traveling man and he reigns over Deep Ellum. Fantastic!

Waterlogged...

My niece came out this weekend. Thoughtful, beautiful, sweet and prone to ask interesting questions. This weekend she asked if God would create a rock too big to roll. Hmmm.

A stamp I can get behind

Love it!

Atty and the sink

And the funny thing is that sometimes the water is not on and he's doing this. Weirdo.

Rollin' it out, baybee!

Back on the rollerblades...sweatin' as an oldie. Man, its hot in Texas right now.

A bangin' good time

Well, today was an interesting day.  Unexpectedly, I decided to go with my mom and sister to the gun range for a little bonding time.  Odd, I know.  My first time in a gun range and my first time to shoot a gun.  Not exactly on my bucket list, but I'm glad I did it.  Turns out I did pretty good.  If you'll notice in the photo to the right, I hit the center circle...and not once, but twice!  I managed to shoot the same spot twice...imagine that!!  I made the hole a bit bigger with the second shot.  It was an odd feeling.  Not so sure I like firing a gun...it was a little disconcerting.  That, and it was hot in there AND there was a little too much taxidermy action in the whole place for my liking, but I was able to use my NRA handshake on one of the employees.  Where else can I do that? Bangin' good time.

Talented niece...

Here's my niece.  She showed me something she put together from my paper supplies.  Talented, cute kiddo. Very proud of her!

My pops

My dad, doing his greenscreen thang. He takes the ballerina out of the photo and puts her on a fancy background. Good to see him doing what makes him happy.

Houston landshark...

Yeah. It was there. I did it. Shut up. You would too.

Eccentric's gravesite

Howard Hughes' resting place in Houston, Texas.

Reagan has some bats in the cave

Ronnie needs a new throat and a cleaner nostrils.  Meanwhile the Beatles are playing in the background. Fantastic.

Stoned presidents

What else ya gonna do while in Houston but go see some stoned presidents? Kind of an odd little excursion. Still not sure what's on Obama's head.  Whatevs.

Fortunate or freakish?

Is this double-fused fortune cookie fortunate or freakish?  Your call. I say for-too-nate!

No! No! No!

Walking in Northpark, minding my own business, when I'm assaulted by this fashion NO! First of all,  in the left photo, what is the mannequin on the right doing?  That just looks uncomfortable.  Number two, fringe should never have left the reservation...these are a NO, NO, NO!  Can I get an amen?

Yes, I had to go there ...

Come on ladies! Do I have to spell it out? We're supposed to be the clean ones, remember!

Costumes 'n such

Ya never know what or who you'll run into on a perfectly good Sunday.

Ole!

Even Mariachi bands have to stop by 7-11 for a drink. Caliente.
