It is definitely the dog days of summer here in Texas. Here is a snapshot of our current forecast this week and you can see that we are living on the face of the sun. I HATE Texas in the summer. It’s just too damn hot. Or to put it another way: Steve and I… Continue reading Staycation at the Four Seasons, Dallas
Steve and I live about 10 minutes away from the fairgrounds so we make a point of visiting the Texas State Fair every year, which runs for 4 weeks from late September until mid-October.

My husband and I spent a long weekend in Austin to attend the college football season opening game of University of TX v. Notre Dame. Stephen and I went to UT for college back in the 1990’s, which is where we met, and I also attended UT for law school.
