Mom turns 91!

The kids and I got together to throw Mom a birthday celebration at The Bomb Diggity in Inez.  We ordered dinner and waited for the show to begin.  The Joe Valentino Show was onstage and rocking out with some oldies from the 50’s and 60’s!









Dressed to fit the music they sang and danced for the crowd! I had told them it was Mom’s birthday so they paid special attention to her and serenaded her with Happy Birthday! Even Ethan got up on stage and was part of the act.

Omar had ordered Mom a chocolate birthday cake with chocolate icing, her favorite! It was a fun evening and a perfect birthday celebration for Mom.

Happy 11th Anniversary

In celebration of our 11th wedding anniversary, Dale and I booked a cabin outside of Wimberley. The Ruby cabin, at Stoney Ridge was isolated, but beautiful, with a big stone fireplace, a wrap around deck for sunsets, and a hot tub!

After unloading our stuff our first stop was at Jacob’s Well Park where Dale reminisced about his first scuba diving experience as a young wild guy!  It was a long time ago, but brought back lots of memories.

The first night we went to Linda’s Restaurant for Fat Tuesday and some Cajun food and music. A road trip was on the agenda the following day.....with stops in Driftwood and Dripping Springs.....with lunch at the famous Salt Lick for BBQ.

We also stopped at a beautiful winery and restaurant called Trattoria Lisina. A hot tub soak and a roaring fire while watching the sunset was the perfect end to a great day.  Valentine's Day and our 11th anniversary we enjoyed a late breakfast and coffee at our cabin before heading to the Blue Hole for some hiking.





The Leaning  Pear was the perfect spot for our lunch.....the crab cake was outstanding! Honeycomb gelato was dessert.  A leisurely drive along the Blanco River, before heading back to our place! Tomorrow we head home!

Atchetee Ancestory.Com

After much thought a Atchetee get-together was planned.....and
Rhonda and Harlo agreed to host everyone.  Michael and Whitney drove over from Louisiana for a visit, and a chance to discuss their family history.  Rhonda was the perfect hostess and cooked up some great meals!  The Atchetee boys can be loud, and laughter was heard as they discussed the family tree!  Old pictures and family records were shared to keep their heritage alive for future generations.
