What a wonderful day for something new! I spent last night with my son Jason and my daughter-in-law, Liz, at their home in Dallas. The three of us ate dinner at a great little restaurant, Goodfriend Burger and Brewhouse,
where I enjoyed a Barbecue Grilled Cheese. Oh my! Think of perfectly cooked brisket between cheesy goodness on grilled bread. It was the sandwich to top all sandwiches.
My son and I then went to a late showing of Deadpool where I laughed way more than perhaps a woman my age should have. For those of you who haven’t heard of the film, Deadpool is a fun, irreverent look at the world of super heroes.
This morning I waited for morning rush traffic to taper off before heading to Houston where I spent a couple of interesting hours getting a beautiful tattoo:
I don’t know about you, but I think my nephew, Russell Bagwell, did an absolutely beautiful job bringing my glimmer of an idea to life. His shop, Royal Avenue Tattoo and Piercing is the place to add a little (or a lot of) ink. The whole procedure was relatively pain free, and I love the results.
After my tattoo I headed to my brother’s home in Houston and had a relaxing evening with him and his wife. We ate at the amazing restaurant, Coltivare.
I should probably forgo food for the next two weeks. But I won’t.
Tomorrow evening is going to be spent at a rodeo and concert. Someone should pinch me. This is all too cool. Right now, though, I’m heading to bed. All this excitement has worn me out.
Peace, people!
sounds like such a fun time, the ink looks brilliant, such a good job, well done Russell (where did you end up getting it done, can’t quite tell in the image – hip?) Good food is always a favourite of mine, as is good company. Enjoy your rodeo I haven’t been to one in absolute ages. And I still have not seen Deadpool…………i know, i know, one day lol

Great tattoo. It reminds me of Yggdrasil – the tree of life in Norse mythology. And you’re obviously having the life! 🙂
