Having granddaughter Hailey visit from NYC is always a delight! This weekend, she brought her boyfriend Rob along, and indoctrinated him into the full Texas experience: cheering on Hailey's cousin, Hudson at his Pop Warner football game, going to the TX EX Alumnae club before a thrilling UT football game, , savoring some mouthwatering BBQ, trying air foiling and wake boarding on Lake Austin, and indulging in classic Tex-Mex delights like fajitas, queso, guacamole, margaritas, and the vibrant nightlife of downtown Austin. It was a fun packed three days, but I think she successfully accomplished her mission!"   “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Saturday marked yet another exciting game day for Hudson in the Pop Warner football program! Hudson, sporting the number 16 jersey, showcased his skills as a cornerback on defense and as a receiver on offense. Their performance today was outstanding, resulting in a well-deserved victory. In the enthusiastic audience, Hudson had a devoted fan base, including his cousin Hailey, who resides and works in the bustling city of New York, and her boyfriend. Texans have a remarkable tradition of supporting one another, exemplified by the presence of the beloved crossing guard, adored by all the kids, who came to cheer on Hudson and one of his teammates. Such a demonstration of Texan warmth genuinely touches the soul!

It's truly incredible to think that eleven 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...

In last night's showdown, Texas defeated No. 3 Alabama on the road with a final score of 34-24, putting an end to the Crimson Tide's remarkable 21-game home winning streak.   A group of us watch the game at the sports bar at our local favorite Flores Mexican Restaurant, where we wholeheartedly embraced the mantra of our beloved Longhorns: "Come early, be loud, stay late, and wear orange!"  Mexican Martina’s were flowing!   Texas secured their victory by outscoring Alabama 21-8 in the closing quarter, and it was Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers who stole the spotlight with his exceptional performance. Ewers, currently in his second year with the program, displayed his skills by completing 24 out of 38 passes for an impressive 349 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions.Following...

Labor Day is a holiday that resonates with most Americans. Though it signifies the bittersweet end of summer, it holds significant value. It serves as another reason to relish summertime activities associated with Labor Day: indulging in our favorite grilled dishes, throwing lively pool parties, and crafting witty summer Instagram captions. We're definitely onboard for that! However, beyond the festivities, Labor Day carries a deeper historical significance.Labor Day's origins trace back to the late nineteenth century when labor advocates tirelessly advocated for a national holiday to acknowledge the profound contributions of workers to America's strength, prosperity, and overall well-being.Today Labor Day 2023, irrespective of how you choose to commemorate it, take a moment to contempl...

  This year, grandson Hudson started playing tackle football in the Austin Trojan Pop Warner League. He loves it and has been anxiously awaiting the chance to play after 3 years with flag football! They had a game Saturday morning and his dad caught this shot of the back of Hudson, which I love! #16 played a great game with 2 interceptions. He proved to be a good leader and helped his teammates to be focused. At the next practice he gets 2 stickers for his helmet for 2 interceptions! He can’t wait!
