I loved being given free reign to capture an entire evening with my camera (...although I'll spare the innocent party goers by not posting their photos).
And I loved being the chief guacamole tester.
I also instituted my new motto:
"Will work for food...and fresh garden produce."
Final storms from Hurricane Alex blew off just in time to bring us a breezy, comfortable Texas evening.
This neighbor is one of the most generous and humble friends. Just one of many examples: She lets all the neighbor kids decorate her Christmas tree and make gingerbread houses in her kitchen.
It took me a number of years living next to her and spending lots of kiddie playtime with her family to find out some fun background info (only thanks to her dad, Chief).As a young lady
she diligently swam laps in this pool
and graduated from high school with a swimming scholarship.
She also became the first female to wear this mascot uniform at TCU.I love hearing these little tidbits of information about my friends. It adds such a fun historical dimension to their personalities.
Another beautiful evening at Chief and Tootsie's...celebrating with her friends and family.My family.
Okay, it's her family.
But it's my adoptive Austin family.
I guess I should inform them of this.
A festive party is great fun, but a good neighbor and friend is a treasure.
