This One's for the Blog

I may've taken the picture partially for the blog (mostly for us), but we had such an AWESOME time. H*Dizzle from Minnesota is visiting her home town here in Austin this week and her home happens to be super close to mine. Whoohoo! We met up at Trudy's for raspberry and strawberry margaritas, migas, and tortilla soup, then we hit up my pool for three solid hours of a perfect view of a nearby fireworks show, floating, and non stop conversation. The weather was perfect and the water was not too cold. Strangely, when we got there at nine thirty nobody else was there. By midnight four different groups of people had shown up and one had just started firing up a grill! You know we started the party ; ) . 

I completely forgot to mention that on the way to the pool we walked on the grass to avoid the sprinklers soaking the sidewalk and the grass on the other side of the sidewalk. As we were walking on the non-sprinkled grass the sprinklers on our side came on and with short eeeks!, our tubes and beer in hand, we were off running through the sprinklers like a scene out of a movie, laughing the whole way. At least we were in our bathing suits! We didn't stop cracking up at ourselves for the next five minutes.

At Trudy's - good memories

After the pool

PS Happy Fourth!!
