So sad, these people left today. :( It's been a fun week with my mom and step-dad here. This picture was taken at an open house at Twisted X Brewing Co

My cousin's husband and friend/partner are making big waves in the brewing industry here in Texas.

So today I did a banishing ritual found on my friend Sacred Suzie's blog. It feels good to have completed this. And it was so simple.

So my parents left Friday morning. We had so much fun. Too much Riesling wednesday night when we cooked out. lol! Pork chops, chicken, german potatoes, and mom's "homemade" coleslaw, and bolillos.

Thursday we went to lady Bird Johnson's Wildflower Center. Beautiful. If you are ever in the area, it is a must see. Plus, a great lunch! lol! Hibiscus Mint Tea and Chicken Salad on herbed focaccia bread. YUM.

Pizza for dinner that night and then they went back to their fifth wheel for a good nights sleep. Hopefully. We had a bad storm and they left late (9 am) and headed off for their first destination, Little Rock. They should be home by tomorrow.

Busy

My parents are here (happy), but they are leaving tomorrow to go back to Indiana (sad). But we are having fun in the meantime.

Yesterday we ad lunch at Kerbey's in Austin with my cousin, her hubby and their two year old. Great food. I had a grilled cheeseon sourdough with lettuce tomatoe and chipolte mayo. Homemade tater chips. YUM. Split a microbrew with my stepdad and mom. Mega dark and it had a hint of molasses. Or has cousin's hubby says " Moles Asses"

Then we made our way to Round Rock to see what was in the Histroric District. Sadly, not a lot like other places I am used to but we did happen upon Keria Teas. I am on their mailing list so it was fun to see the shop in person. We had scones with clotted cream and tea. Even my step dad. Made a few purchases.

Head to THE round rock which was part of the Chisholm Trail. You can see wagon wheel marks in the creek if you look closely.

Bookstore for Texas books and the movie Pan's Labyrinth. Grocery for food and wine and hubby grilled for was all.

Today we are off the the Lady Bird Johnson wildflower center at the university for lunch a tons of pretties blooming.

Pizza tonight as they leave early tomorrow.
