Mockingbird -- such Texas birds

The G family had us over for dinner :)

We had a lot of fun! :)

Then the next night, we saw a slideshow of pics from their Mexico trip. :)

Stunning

Part of their group :) Thanks for showing us the photos, dear G's!

This quote always makes me smile -- yet it expresses a bit of my philosophy, too. Why not dress nicely, "dress up," out of politeness & respect for those you meet? And, in that vein, why not dress nicely everyday, for those that matter the most -- those in your own family?

Why the two illustrations above, you ask? Some of us leave tomorrow for sunny CA! :)
