Another Visit To The Houston Arboretum

We had a very busy weekend.  We won't tell you everything today because we may need something to talk about later in the week.  We need to pace ourselves.  BOL!

We have posted Dad's clue to our next destination on the sidebar.  We will announce the destination at the end of our post.

Mama bought a new blanket at Camping World. She had a coupon and bought it for half price. She thought it was cute and it is about time that she retires a blanket that she has had for 27 years.  Yep, that is right, 27 years.  It is wearing thin.

 
Yesterday, we returned to The Houston Arboretum.  We walked different trails this time and took one that was really fun.  It had hills and was a little more challenging than the flat trails.  Scout didn't think it was as much fun as me, but that's Scout.  It was such a beautiful day.  Flowers are blooming here.







Lantana - Mama loves lantana.

 After we got home, I took a nap while the folks went to lunch.

They were only gone a few hours and we spent the rest of the day together.  It was a great day!

You are all too smart for us.  Our next destination is Denver, CO. We have been told that it does snow in April, but since the average temperature is in the 60's, it usually melts by noon.  We are leaving here at the end of March and will arrive in Denver on April 1st.  It will take us three days to get there.

  1. Joey,
    We love your Mom's new blanket and think it will look even more beautiful with greyhound hairs on it. Our Mom loves sales!
    The arboretum looks like a nice place - flowers, water, trails and a nap afterward? Sounds good to us.
    Yay, Colorado! That will be lots of fun!
    Love,
    Truly, Maggie and Walker

  3. Another great walk. DENVER. You are oh so very close to me, just over the mountain. You are right about the snow in April. Where I live, just over the mountain, it has been known to snow in June. Maybe your mom should have bought two blankets. But I hear that Colorado has not had as much snow as they normally get.
    OK my MOM wants me to say your parents have to go eat at Mataam Fez. It is Moroccan food. Now she has not been there in years, but she said it was among one of the best meals she's had. And when she was there the atmosphere was incredible. You do have to sit on the floor on pillows. I think that part sound like fun. She also said she had hands down the BEST tea she has EVER had in her life.
    Blessings,

    1. I don't know if we could get up off the floor if we had to sit on it. LOL

  4. That blanket is perfect for your mom and dad. Looks like you had a beautiful day out. We're still a month or so away from that weather, but it's getting close. I guessed right! That's amazing because I'm a horrible guess-er.

    That walk looks so pretty and peaceful. How brilliant, going to Denver - if you run into Melissa say hello from us.
