Good Times

We have been letting the good times roll lately. Lucky us!

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of staying at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. Lots of action there. The hotel was all decorated with the Alice in Wonderland theme. It lit up real pretty at night. The room was quiet and cozy. Food was good. Drinks were good. Company was great!

We met up with three of our friends. Dinner was Mexican food at Esparza's. Afterward, we went to the Glass Cactus at the hotel. Fun music by the Spazmatics. We heard it from the balcony overlooking the lake -- and that was close enough! Did I say the chocolate martini was excellent?

We've decided our next get-together will be at The Stoneleigh in Dallas. That will be fun, too.

Good times continued over the 4th of July holiday. Our weather was slightly overcast, so the temperatures were down a little. That always helps! The parade on Saturday was great, as usual. And lunch and visiting with the in-laws is always a good time. Sunday was time to shoot grandson's rockets (who knew how much fun that would be?) and then family and friends settled in for fireworks. Several neighbors put on their own show before the big event over the lake.

The grandkids and I collaborated on Monday morning breakfast. Sausage, biscuits and eggs. They're good cooks.

All in all, we are blessed with good times and fun memories for the future.

And chocolate martinis.
