It's truly incredible to think that twelve years have passed since the day Handsome Hudson was born! I can still vividly recall how he patiently waited to make his entrance into the world until Geno and I returned from our Mediterranean vacation. It was an exhilarating and unforgettable time for our family!I have to credit Sharon Tara for inspiring me to create collages for my grandchildren. I cherished her collages so much that I began crafting them for Hudson when he turned four. I took the time to go back to earlier photos and created a collage for the first three years so we would have one for every year!It's a delightful experience to revisit these memories each year. Witnessing the incredible changes over the years has been nothing short of amazing, and I know many of you have joi... 09/12/2024

Saturday was a whirlwind of excitement and family fun! I kicked off the day heading to my granddaughter Beckett’s, softball game at 10:30 am. Watching her out there, giving it her all, always fills me with pride and reminds me how grateful I am to live in the same town so I can support her activities.  Next, I dashed over to North Italia, to meet up with friends and just in time for the second half of the UT game, what a game! UT creamed Michigan, and the energy in the restaurant was almost as contagious as at the game. After the victory cheers, I made my way to my grandson’s Pop Warner football practice and game at 5 pm. Watching him and his teammates on the field was the perfect ending to a jam-packed day. It was non-stop from start to finish, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way! 09/08/2024

I love the Pride of Barbados Plant that is in abundance, growing in Austin. I love walking in the mornings because our community landscapers have planted a number of them. I was walking with a friend the other morning and she told me she takes the pods that are brown, removes them and places them in a brown bag until the spring and then removes the seeds in the pods and plants them! I didn’t know to do this so now have secured some brown pods, putting them in a brown bag and can’t wait to plant them next spring! She said wait until they are brown and don’t remove the green ones! Good to know. Hoping to have my very own Pride of Barbados plant next year! 09/07/2024
