Dallas Cowboy Training Camp- Aug 2009







We had family & friends in town for football season kickoff - by going to the Dallas Cowboy practices at the Alamodome. Kayla & Garrett in from Corpus Christi, Cynthia & Big RT w/ Dillon and Mike & Veronica from Dallas, Ronnie & Lynn Brown from here, and don't forget the General. Comeaux friends from Corpus came the following weekend....
We had one big party-central going on here. Anyone who drove by the house could tell a big event was happening. Show pit in the front driveway.. not your grandpa's pit... a HUGE SHOW PIT that they backed into the driveway and parked. Cowboy tents and flag in the front yard with ice chests everywhere... Four full days of "getting our drink on"-poolside, BBQ, golf, and
Cowboy practice. That's what making memories is all about.. good times... good times.........

Judy Joy in Monterey,CA
















Like I said, Monty's mom is the Queen of Fabric and an excellent quilter. She was in "heaven" when we found the Monterey "shop-hop" was going on. That's right... an event that you "hop" from one quilt store to the next to see all the made quilts and new sew projects.
Now, I am no "quilter" but I do love to curl up in a good soft quilt for a nap.. and if it is beautful.. then all the better. But these were Grandma quilts from Little House... these quilts were
works of ART! Check out some of these quilts.

California flowers!
















The weather was beautiful... and the flowers amazing!
