Texas, Here I Come!

             


        Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!
        So, the day job is busier than ever. So much so that I’ve concluded crazy/busy is the new normal. I’m a little tired and my brain is quite full but I’ve been given a reprieve of sorts. By the time you read this, I will be winging my way to Dallas.

Why Dallas?
Well, that’s where my son and his fiancĂ© live and I’ve been invited to a ‘girls’ weekend’ with my future daughter-in-law! I’m so looking forward to this (that being said, I will need a vacation from this vacation). That lovely young woman has the few days I’ll be spending there filled chock full of fun things to do.
We’re going to the Fort Worth Stockyards. I’ve never been there but I’m told it’s a fantastic place to visit. I hear we can take a ride on a real stagecoach AND watch a cattle drive (yes, they do this twice a day down the main street)! How exciting! Now I can actually experience some of the things I write about. I plan to spend a great deal of time in the Cowgirl museum, too! 
What other fun things does she have planned? A tiki-bar boat ride on the lake, a slumber party with her bridesmaids (am I too old for a slumber party? I don’t think so), and shopping. Lots of shopping. Now we know I’m not the world’s best shopper, but I think it’ll be fun. Who knows? I might find something ‘cowgirly’ (which is a departure for me…yes, I live in Arizona and happily write about the wild west, but I’m a bit preppy/conservative in my dress).
I also arranged to have lunch with a dear friend who moved to that area and I’m so looking forward to that! Yes, we chat on the phone and we email but it’ll be great to see her in person! It's been a long time!
And that’s it for me. I gotta go pack!
Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
