Organizing and Catching Up

I have been thinking about how I will organize some of the things I want to post. We have continued working on the house and have cleared more of the land, so I want to show some of that. When we bought the house, we knew the house would need painting in the near future. So after two years, its number came up and had the house, guest house and pergola painted. The outside truly looks more like a Texas colonial hacienda.

During the past year we made trips to Minneapolis, St. Petersburg and Dallas. We still have tickets to North Carolina, but don't know when that trip will take place. We got to take care of Henry and Jake for a week and attended 60th birthday surprise parties for cousins, Cathy and John, and my brother, Tim.

We met our college friends in the Texas Hill Country in the fall, and then all four couples went on a Greek Island cruise and to Venice, Italy together in the spring.

So, instead of posting things chronologically, I think I will post according to topics. And the first topic will be . . .
