You Don't See Those In Minnesota

On may way to work this morning I saw a hot air balloon (a.k.a. ballon aircraft) in the sky.  It was not far from our house which made it appear fairly large.  This is the second time since moving to Texas I have seen one.  I think it would be cool to visit Albuquerque, NM - the Hot Air Ballooning Capital of the World.

Texan Flea Market

We went to our first Texan flea market today.  It is held monthly and called Third Monday Trade Days.  Our friends Sandy and Vince came with Kristi, Sam and myself.  We saw most of what you would expect to see to for sale - cowboy hats, boots, knives, puppies, air soft guns and underground F5 shelters to name a few.  Sam wanted to buy something at every other booth starting off at the first one he saw.  I explained to him that the market is held monthly and we can come back again plus, it is better to do a full walk through to see everything there is and decide later what you like the most.  This didn't sink in until the very end when he saw a bow and arrow he really wanted and I reminded him if he had bought something at the first booth he wouldn't have money for the bow.  I shook his head as if he understood.  Then I told Sam he should put that on his Christmas list :-)

2014 Windsor Meadows Annual Pool Party

All of us spent the day at our community pool.  It was the annual Home Owners Association appreciation for the community we live in.  They had a water slide, temporary tattoo artist, snow cone truck and lunch.  The weather was great and everyone enjoyed a relaxing afternoon.

Independence Day in Texas

Our favorite Floridians Matt and Eva recently visited us over the July 4th weekend.  Our favorite Texans Vince and Sandy facilitated a block party on their street where over 70 neighborhood friends showed up to celebrate.  Great food, fun and weather - a perfect day!
