The weather was nice and comfortable. We managed to play croquet- Milkbone won. Oh and we went fishing too, but didn't catch anything.

Childhood memories....circa. 1974

I'm in the middle of these two crazy-fun sisters, who are my cousins. Bonnie lives in Lake Ozark, Missouri with her husband and their three lovely children. Lease lives in Washington D.C. with her husband and their cute boston terrier, Ruggie. As for me, I am still living in the hot-humid city of Houston with my darling husband and our mutt, Miss. Chica. If I can recall, I was told this picture was taking at Northwest Mall, which to my surprise is still there.

I am a fan of Widespread Panic

If you ever see a Widespread Panic show live, be prepared to camp out. I’ve been told that is the best experience and it is true. Our Denver & Bust friends asked us to join them for the last leg of the WSP tour - two nights @The Backyard near Austin and camp at Pace Bend Park. This would be my first to see WSP to which the others, I think they’ve seen too many shows for me to count over the years, but I shouldn’t be shady. Since I have seen QOTSA –like- a lot too.... I really enjoyed the show. It was a bit long and the hippie dancing didn’t distract me as much as I thought in the beginning of their set, but the music was good and tight.
I am a fan.

I voted!
