Foodie Weekend

We had a fabulous weekend with our
good friends Tom & Carol
 
They drove down from the DFW area to
spend a few days at our Nest
 
Our new puppy, Lacy Mae, was
so excited to have their two little
fur babies to frolic with around
the house, screened porch, and yard
 
 
Any time we all get together
 
THE MAIN FOCUS IS FOOD!!
 
both hubbies are excellent chefs
and love to cook
 
 
 
We gave them the first night off
and enjoyed a lovely dinner at
the Pumphouse Restaurant in Victoria
 
 
 
Next day the guys were off to HEB
for all their "foodie" supplies
 
Once they had marinated the meat and done
a little prepping we were off to the beach
for a little R & R

Reuse Redesign

I went to a fabulous estate sale recently
 
Found lots of "GOOD" junk
 
....one of my finds was
three enamel pans
 
I have a serious love affair with enamel
 
 
thought I'd show you
how I reused them
 
 
 
A little Garden Art!!
 
 
 
filled the pans with succulents, rose moss
and dusty miller
 
 
 
 
Topped it off with a whimsical fairy
 
 
Every Little Birdie says-
Reuse, Redesign!!
