MarchMadness!!

Where do I start? Maybe I should start with the best thing in March. My precious granddaughters were at our house for Spring Break. They flew into Dallas on that Saturday and from the airport we went straight to The Galleria Mall---one of their favorite shopping spots. We bought new accessories for Katy's American Girl Dolls. We bought cute dresses, leggings, tops and some oh so fashionable new sweats as well as new necklaces and earring and sunglasses to go with the new wardrobe items. Papa was with us so we had to feed him and Macy's favorite restaurant in the area is the Grand Lux because of the sumptuous bennettes. So eat we did to fuel us for the marathon shopping we were about to do. Then when my wallet was nearly empty we went to the ice rink and they skated until Papa had had enough and implored us to leave for home.

On Monday we had an appointment with photographer extraordinarre, Megan Parks, http://www.meganparksphotography.com/, and did a photo shoot for Macy and Katy new book cover. Oh what a grand time we had! We all arrived at the lovely home of Marcus and Elyse Carter and invaded her kitchen with cookies, Mardi Gras beads, feather boas and various and sundry kitchen accessories. Megan worked tirelessly with the girls until we had an array of stunning shots. She also did pictures of me to update my look for future books and speaking events (which we will talk about later). After all this we were famished and decide that one of Auntie's burgers was definitely in order. http://www.skinnyshamburgers.com/

For the next two days we spent time at Connie and auntie's cabin on Possum Kingdom Lake, where we cooked out, fished, played frisbee with the dogs and slept late.

Alas, it was over all to soon and I put the girls on a plane back to Amarillo on Thursday. My consolation is that Easter is just around the corner and they will be back. Nana and Papa do love our girls!!
