We’re back! We were in the great state of Texas for a wedding over Easter weekend. It was a total whirlwind of activity, and lots of fun. The wedding was also totally blogworthy, so look for that on the horizon.
The Texas Hill Country was looking pretty spring-like with tons of bluebonnets and other native flowers springing up all over the highway. Dave and I took a drive to Austin to visit a few of our favorite places, visit old friends, and eat chicken fried steak (ever elusive in the Pacific Northwest):
Yowza.
On our drive around Austin, we passed a turnoff for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which made me think of Ashley and Matthew, who are getting married there very soon. It’s sort of funny… Back when we had all that insane weather in December, the whole city kind of shut down and I snapped this picture of their poor little invitation stuck with me in the snow!
Not to worry, Ashley and Matthew… Spring has sprung in Texas! Actually I’m sure it’s been sprung for awhile down south. I think it’s finally arrived in Western Washington as well. Hopefully brighter evening hours will help me blog a bit more often this season. Lots to say! Thanks to all you loyal readers… I endeavor to deserve you

Hi! I recently came across your blog, and as a UT Austin grad living in Seattle (and about to get started with my letterpress… any minute now) I’ve felt pretty close to a lot of your entries…
Then I saw the chicken-fried steak, and had to post. I’ve been a vegetarian for 2 years, but that would not be possible if chicken-fry was readily available. However, if you are ever in the Capital Hill area, Charlie’s has a pretty good one (in meat and veggie versions).
Thanks for the Bluebonnet photos, and all the fantastic designs!
