The Brides invited us to the Bayou City Art Festival today. I was doing some editing that was interrupted by the migraine last week, and I wanted to get back to it, so Tom went without me. But the day was so beautiful that I didn’t want to be stuck inside. First, I spent some time outside with Margot, Guinness, Rex, and Sugar. I got a photo of Margot sunbathing that I really like:
Then I took my work to one of my favorite restaurants, Baba Yega, where I haven’t been in a long time. This was the view from my table:
After eating and working, I did a tiny bit of Christmas shopping, then got a call from the art-gazers, who invited me to meet them for ice cream at the Marble Slab Creamery. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
What a beautiful photo of the dog – lovely looking dog too! 🙂
Thanks! She’s a sweetie. She just turned nine last month.
Cool fountain!
It was new to me–at least I don’t remember it being the fountain I saw last time I was there–though I can’t even remember when that was.
I love that picture of Margot.
That fountain is great, too! Phoebe and I would love to have that in the back yard.
Thanks! I think you and Phoebe SHOULD have a fountain like that in your back yard.
Gorgeous photos all … but Margot, well I’m one for the dogs. please tell me you got cake batter ice cream. Should I ever compound it… we should spend a day there
I got half Swiss chocolate and half coffee. It was delicious. I don’t indulge like that often, but when I do, I usually don’t go near anything that says cake, candy, or cookie in my ice cream.
I took lots of dog photos, but this one was my favorite.
I love the cake batter ice cream with berries … or bananna ice cream with strawberries and chocolate.
Fondue!
Hey, I just read in the paper that Gale Harold was in a motorcycle accident Tuesday. “Swelling on the brain and a fractured shoulder.”
Re: Fondue!
The latest report says he’s improving. =)
Now I wish I had a dog. And ice cream. And a fountain.
I’m sure the middle one is quickly doable.
I like the Hemingway-feel of the middle photo so much. Makes me want to write something and throw back a scotch.
You could be playing the “Maverick” drinking game. In fact, I strongly suggest that you drink all day instead of doing anything like sewing or photographing or posting your designs.
You didn’t listen to me. Instead, you posted all those amazing designs.
Where’s that voodoo doll Lisa gave me, I wonder…
You know, if ever a dog’s name truly suited her, it’s Margot – she truly is the elegant being that name describes!
Beautiful views – thanks for sharing. Hope you’re feeling a little better now.
Thank you. I’m feeling LOTS better.
When we adopted her, she was Margo. It was Timmy (not Tim) who added the “t” to give her a little sophistication and make the name more than just her “foster dog” name.
Sometimes I say the T is for trouble, sometimes for terrific. She’s provided plenty of both over the years, and she’s always a joy. The woman who saved her from being put down, the organization that placed her, and her foster mom are all angels in my eyes.
Button, button, who has the button?
Nag.
what great pictures! beautiful weather AND a beautiful dog! 🙂
Thank you! =)
