Home Sweet Home...

We made it home from our trip to Texas. We left Christmas morning and drove to St. Louis where we stayed the night at Andrew's mom's step-sister's house for the night. Then on Monday we drove the rest of the way to Texas. Got there around midnight CST. It was so WARM in Texas! I was in heaven. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather while we were down there. Tuesday afternoon we went to the botanical gardens after I bought a new macro lens (the reason why I bought it will be down this post a bit).





Our week was pretty leisurely. We went to the Cowgirl Museum, the Science and History Museum, Fuzzy's Taco Shop, and did a bunch of hanging out at home. We played Texas Hold 'Em, Dominos, Darts, Scene It?, Euchre, had lots of drinks and stayed very late every night. It was so much fun. I even busted my brother-in-law's lip by throwing a poker chip at him (Ok, so I might have been a bit tipsy and my judgment was a tad off). Luckily he was a good sport about it. Sorry, Tony!!!

I've been asked to photograph Andrew's Aunt Cindy's next book. She's a very well-known beadmaker, and is in the process of putting together a new book. I'll be flying down to St. Louis at the end of this month to photograph all the beadwork for the book. How exciting is that???? I'm pretty geeked about it. Thus the reason for the new lens.

I'm also going to be the photographer for the Fenton Village Players theater group. That should be a lot of fun and will get my name out there.

Anyway, I'm glad to be home.
