Texas Time & Memories

I spent the last 12 days in Texas, the state of my birth. Yes, I’m a bit twangier now and yes, I ate BBQ, yes…with my fingers. Yes, I’ve provided some “girlfriend weekend tips" in this post. But lastly, and most importantly, I celebrated the life of one of my favorite people and she would be happy to know we talked about her spirited way of living and loving, EVERYDAY!

High Tea at MN Landscape Arboretum

I challenge you to check out the University of MN Landscape Arboretum during any season, yes, including winter. Please take your seat at this particular Friday afternoon table where I really tried to take a photo of each course...but my fork/spoon slipped and I missed a few, so deal with it. 😱
