The last weeks have been a bit of a hodge-podge for Jordan and I.  We've both been very absorbed in work so we are beat in the evenings.  Fortunately, we've had great weather the last few weekends and the Memorial holiday is alllllmost here! A few weekends ago we decided, on a whim, to have a fire with some of our neighbors.  We managed to have a productive day and it was great to relax with some friends!  Here are a few pictures from our little fire night. Over the years, we've built quite a good selection of chairs, tables, and accessories to go with a fire.  Pictured top right is one of my new stemless wine glasses!  Glass is so iffy outdoors and these beauties offer style and even a little insulation. Bottom Right : These torches are just great!  We have 4 and they illuminate the backyard very well!  Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like these torches (the fire) deter mosquitoes too! This season we missed the bluebonnet blooms (#Fail #O

It took me a while to get to this particular post.  I enjoy taking pictures on our nice camera but the process of getting those photos into a virtual format is becoming more and more cumbersome.  At any rate, I've got some good ones for you today! Mother's Day weekend Jordan and I went to the lake!  It was great to see Mom and Dad but we also met my cousin, Mandy, there!  (Love that she lives in Texas now!) Top : This is the three of us in the back of the jitney!  Well, five of us if you add Abby and Dexter.  The new jitney is SO nice!  It's a smooth ride and can fit 6 adults comfortably!  I think jitney rides are my top favorite activity at the lake (on land). Bottom : The Brute cooler (50 quart) has been such a great accessory for our lake trips.  It's kind of like Jordan's version of a man purse and we take it everywhere we can!  Anyhoo, as a small surprise, I bought him this cooler divider for the Brute.  This was one of the first opportunities

Have you heard of the Dallas Summer Musicals ?  If you live in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area, I highly recommend catching a musical this summer!  This year is the first time Jordan and I have attended a DSM but I have a feeling that we'll be going more often!  This summer they launched some great shows including Wicked , and The Little Mermaid to name a few!  I think The Little Mermaid dates are closed but Wicked is open through 5/22! For our first DSM musical out of the gate, we decided to see Wicked.  It's such a popular show and I've heard fantastic things about it! We boot scooted downtown on a Friday night as early as we could and decided to grab a bite to eat at the Pizza Lounge.  I've never been here but the pizza was fantastic!  We had the "Sofa King" pizza which seemed to appeal to both of us.  Left : Pizza Lounge menu - they've got this retro glamour theme which was kind of cool. Right : Our pizza full of toppings.  This was more
