Pic(s) Of The Day - 01.31.15 - On The Road Again

After a lovely dinner in the Green Room at the Wortham Center, followed by Mozart's The Magic Flute on Friday night, The Calvinator and I were up early on Saturday for a road trip.

Saturday was my mother's 80th birthday so went up there to spend the day with her and help her celebrate. The day consisted of lunch at Mamma Mia in Riverside, Mass at St. George and dinner at Sammie's Bar-B-Q.

There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright Fernando in Fort Worth that set off my nose. Itchy, watery eyes. Congestion. Sneezing. Not pretty.

So...The Calvinator and I left on Sunday morning and my breathing is slowly getting back to normal.

The birthday girl.

Roses that were given to my mom by some of her friends from church.

It's all about the cake. Different flavors at lunch.

Who knew you could get a back tattoo from a vending machine?

Pic Of The Day - 12.24.14 - It's A Christmas Miracle.

For those of you who have been following this blog, you know that I got WAY behind in posting my Pic Of The Day. And, you also know that recently I lost track of taking at least one photo a day.

Well, with this post, I am caught up through yesterday which means I'm caught up because I typically post the Pic Of The Day the next day. Make sense? And yes, this is a Christmas miracle that I'm caught up!

I'm not sure when we started going to the Christmas Vigil Mass at St. George Catholic Church in Ft. Worth. As a kid, I remember going to Mass on Christmas Day. Sometimes I would sing at Midnight Mass. A few times we attended Midnight Mass at All Saints Catholic Church.

So...as we have done for the past however many years, we attendedthe Christmas Vigil Mass last night at St. George.

I'm also not sure when we started having dinner after Mass and opening presents but the tradition continued this year as well.
