Texas Tales

I'll start this entry about Texas with a photo from Missouri - look at these beautiful tulips blooming in Kansas City when I was there (just after Texas):

My time in Texas is over. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun but am happy to be home again with hubby.

While in Texas, I...

1. celebrated Easter with the Texas Tierneys!


2. visited my friend Mukmuk in Arizona who took me to see the Grand Canyon,


3.reunited with my old roommate Bethany who lives in Texas and just got engaged (congrats, Bethany and Jarod!),


4. went searching for the famous fields of Texas Blue Bonnets with my aunt and uncle but found only a few patches of wildflowers instead,


5. celebrated Texas-style by eating barbecue with new friends


And, oh yeah, I also did go through a lot of training while I was there but that just doesn't lend itself to a good picture :)

Finally, since I'm back in Boston, I'll end with a photo of Boston in spring. I love Boston in springtime! Here's a photo of one of the quaint bridges over the Charles River:

Beautiful pictures. Looks like you got to have some meaningful times with friends while you were away.

Love the update, Lariss. Fun to see MukMuk by photo again. I still keep up with Sam and his cousin Cathy. Very cool to see some of the things you did while you were gone. Thanks for posting!

Wow, what an eventful time!!! I'm glad I got to see some of those picts- I still haven't got to hear much about your time there, so it's fun to get filled in a litte this way. thanks! Have fun in finland, can't wait to hear about your adventures.
PS-I love the tulips, I can't believe that you actually took that picture!! It looks like a calender picture.
