the view out my front door

as I sit here in my kitchen, I am happy to look out my front door. Soon I will be back on the road for a month & this will all be a memory.
I am on my way to do the Main Street Fort Worth Art Show & then to the Big One, the Smithsonian Craft Show. So this is a reminder to me of where I started. Below is what I will see when I walk into my gate, that's our cat sitting on the bench by the front door.

BUCEEEZ have the best bathrooms... & Beaver Nuggets too...

Driving to Dallas to fly home I happily stopped at my favorite truck stop Bucees. What are Beaver Nuggets anyway? I looked all over & did not find a single bag. hmmmmm


They have the biggest cleanest bathrooms in Texas & a Sherif to greet you... 


                                                               

And every type of souvenir item know to man or woman... 


                                                              

Happy Trails....

from San Antonio to Bayou City Art Festival

Well I made it to San Antonio, into the loving home of Janet, Bill & Chloe

We ate lovely food, drank Midnight Ramblers & then had a Nia dance in the morning with Janet, she taught Aya a new routine from Carlos. Then I hit the road for Houston. The blue bonnets were out & the weather was glorious.


I made it to Memorial Park in Houston & set up my booth with no rain wind or surprises. It went very smoothly.


                                     

Then off to cousin Rick's for drinks & dinner at Istanbul Grill, my absolutely favorite Turkish restaurant.  It's as close to being in Istanbul w/o actually being there. 


                                                         
Spent the next 3 days at the show & some of my favorite Houstonian customers stopped by wearing their favorite necklaces. Marilyn McPheeters had on her 21 chair necklace & yes, it is wearable & comfortable & she looked beautiful modeling it.

                                  
Thank you Houston!!!
