The week before Christmas I took myself to a show at the Bob Bullock Museum in Austin:
This was the screensaver as we were seated - you wore 3D glasses for the show and couldn't take photos. I don't know how anyone would anyway - it was mesmerizing. I went to a late show and the garage parking was free. If you are in Austin, I highly recommend!
I haven't been here in years - it was one of the field trip locations I took my kids to in the summer.
I had zero issues with traffic making my way downtown, parked easily, and had a good time - all solo.
The therapy dog that comes to see us once a month or so on Mondays has his own name badge WITH an award pin. He goes directly to you and leans against you for pets and love. We love on him for about 20 minutes then pass the lint roller around. Worth it.
After I put Christmas up, I did a tiny bit of purging. These vintage-y glass hearts were from Pottery Barn from at least 20 years ago. They will find a new home with The Girl. Six was our lucky number!
I noticed this flap of gutter guard about to fall and I sincerely hope its not because a squirrel decided to nest in the gutter. It is on my Friday list of things to deal with. I got the faucet covers put on and I think the plants are safe for now. Winter usually begins for us in January.
Slow progress on the puzzle, but there's no deadline. I will look for smaller ones at Goodwill next time I go, but this one was a gift from Scout and I turn off my mind and listen to music while I work on it. So much better than doom scrolling!
Happy Weekend,
Gina
