What a difference a year makes.


It will be a year in November since we adopted "Petunia".  We were the third or fourth home she had been passed around to in her two short years.  We had only taken her in to hold until her new home would be ready for her, but that did not work out so, Petunia became ours.  She is such a sweetie, but with some bad habits that we are still having to work on. 

You can see by the pictures that she only weighed about six pounds when we got her.  We thought we got such a cute petite little dog only to find out that she was really underweight and had blow her coat.  Look at her now, chubby and fluffy.   She really has a beautiful coat with black tips, and what a Mamma's girl.




It's been awhile

Hi all, sorry it has been awhile, but the summer just seemed to go by so quickly.  It's fall now and this is my favorite time of the year, so I will try to keep you all updated on fun things and good recipes.

I finally bit the dust and used my 25% off card from J Crew last week and snagged some goodies.  I really have not shopped their in awhile, because here in H-Town we don't even get cool weather until October, so who needs a sweater.  I have to admit we have had awesome weather for the past few weeks, which was just perfect for Antiquing in Round Top.  Also, we found a new winery called Saddlehorn Winery.  If  their are any local followers please make note to get up to Brehnam to give them a try, you will not be disappointed. 



So, back to J Crew.  I was most excited about the extra 30% off sweaters than anything, plus being able to tag on the 25% off card discount.  

I know a lot of blogger's have a love hate relationship with J Crew, and I have to admit my disappointments and love of the good ole J Crew, but when it comes down to it, they still deliver better than most other retailers.  I know there are quality issues, but some of the other retailers are so much worse.  That being said J Crew still gets most of my $$.
