The Lawn

I used to think that mowing the lawn was a chore, and I would procrastinate, but once I would finally get mowing, it would not be so bad. I have now changed my mind. Mowing the lawn in Texas is miserable. It is too hot to hardly move, yet you have to be in the hot, pushing a mower sweating like you didn’t know you could, getting heat stroke, then you go in, jump in a cool shower, and continue to sweat for another hour or so, all the while drinking as much water as you can. Then lo and behold, the headache from the heat exhaustion comes! I can’t say that I like to mow the lawn any more! Not at all!!
But here are some beautiful pictures of a nice freshly mowed lawn that almost killed me!!!



Good Friends Good Food

It has been an odd experience going out with friends that are my friends, and not “our” friends since Landon and I have separated. I was invited over to dinner last night to some friends house and they grilled up some pork chops, and some fish, potatoes, and stuffed tomatoes. It was all really good (except the pork!! Cant tell you if that was good or not, but I suspect it was.)
But it has been good just making new friends, and not staying home all the time by myself. (Even though I do enjoy that sometimes too!)

Happy 4th!

I had a great 4th of July thanks to a new friend of mine. I have made some really good friends since I have started taking violin lessons again, and since we hung out together every Thursday for like 12 weeks prior to the recital.
Any way, one of the guys that is another adult student knows about my current situation, and asked if I was doing anything for the 4th. Of course I did not have any plans, so he invited me to go with him to his friends house in Granbury. We had such a great time! J and B have a boat, and live right there by the lake, so we were out on the lake Friday, and Saturday! J and B’s parents actually live on the lake, so Saturday evening we were at their place with about 40 other people, sat on their dock, and watched fireworks.
I met so many great people, and had a really good time!
