Weekend Adventures

David & I had a great time volunteering at the Texas Children's Home. There we are below in our aprons after serving food. It was something we both would like to do again. It felt very rewarding to help others especially at Christmas! With so much negativity and bitterness going around it's just not healthy. We want to surround myself with positive people who aren't so pessimistic.




The rest of the day was also great! We attended David niece's basketball game, went on a double date to the Trail of Lights, I forgot my camera so I will have to wait to get those pictures from the other couple that came with.

Then on Sunday we headed downtown for some shopping.
We found David's Secret Santa gift at Anthropologie. I picked out a Monogrammed Mug





along with a porcelain box that I could not find online, I hope David's coworker loves them!

The best part of my Sunday was going into Book People , a local independent book store next to Anthropologie. Inside Book People I saw a Blue Dog painting anyone who knows me knows I love love love Blue Dog! When the New Orleans Museum of Art held an exhibit David took me to a lecture and book signing by the artist George Rodrigue . I was so excited to see a painting hanging in Austin, I asked about it. Apparently George Rodrigue visited Book People in November 2000 and painted this Blue Dog while he was in the store!
