Summer Recap #2

Moving right along into July! Amanda and I met up again for a trip to New Braunfels, TX to float the Guadalupe River and see Roger Creager at Gruene Hall. I absolutely love visiting Gruene, TX. It has a great historic feel to it with wonderful restaurants, shops and of course Gruene Hall - the oldest running dance hall in Texas where many great country artists got their start including George Strait.

In July, Kings of Leon/Band of Horses came to Dallas. I have been a big fan of KOL, but if you haven't been hiding under a rock and watch a bit of news or even celebrity gossip you probably heard the disaster this concert turned into. This was the show where KOL played four songs and then left only to say that couldn't finish the concert which ultimately lead to canceling their entire U.S. tour. I surely hope they can get it together, but am definitely disappointed and on a current boycott. Band of Horses was great though and very much enjoyed their music and the company of great friends.

The summer definitely continues as does the heat. More to come and I look forward to getting back into the blogging routine.

Summer Recap #1

Summer kicked off with a trip to Lake Athens for Memorial Day weekend. My good friend Josh's parents have a great house that they graciously open up to us so the weekend was full of lake fun, food, red meat, crawfish, red meat and more red meat. There is no doubt I live in Texas.

In June, my friend Amanda came to visit to attend the NKOTB/BSB concert. She and I grew up together in Abilene and we have a long running love for New Kids on the Block. On this tour the Backstreet Boys joined NKOTB and it was definitely interesting to witness the distinct generation gap of those who were there for NKOTB and those for the Backstreet Boys. I am certainly of the former.

Stay tuned for Summer Recap #2!

Bringing her back!

After much thought and a recent Macbook purchase I'm bringing the blog back to life. I miss writing about weekend activities, random thoughts and keeping in touch with friends.

I'll be posting a few events from this summer as I sit here under my ceiling fan dreaming of cooler weather.
