When I start something, I tend not to let myself get distracted from finishing. However, when it comes to writing, I hit the big road block with trying to decide on a topic. Life gets in the way, and I fall off the bandwagon in terms of keeping the website fresh and current. Lately, my business is beginning to grow, home improvement projects demand so much time, and a five month old whose grin is too cute to ignore.
So, bear with me. The radio silence is only temporary.
Speaking of home improvement projects, I had the opportunity to attend a Do-It-Herself workshop at our local Home Depot. Since we are in the midst of updating our kitchen, I am going to be adding a tile backsplash. This is a far cry from my fear of tools. Right now, it is a huge decision between subway tiles and mosaics. We have finally decided on a new countertop and the paint for the kitchen and master bedroom. Yay for doing it ourselves!
As for our little man, he is doing well. We are in the midst of entering the world of teething, and I guess it is time to invest in a couple bottles of red wine to survive this phase. However, he is amazing us daily with his newly acquired skills of rolling over from his back to his stomach and back again. Little Man is also enjoying his new activity center too.
In terms of travels in Texas, we headed westward towards Ranger last Saturday after purchasing flowers for our flower bed. We stopped along the way at Smokestack Restaurant, where my husband indulged in the best Chicken Fried Steak ever, and I had a slice of Pecan Pie, which was awesome. Forgive me for there are no pictures of our food. Rather, there is a picture of a remnant of a ghost town (Thurber, Texas). It was an interesting experience, as there are few ghost towns in Maryland and Virginia.
