Don't believe everything you hear...
Who wouldn't want a Jack Daniels watch?
Hahaha...so I'm watching Food Network and Giada has an episode of one of her 70 shows on tv where she's come to Austin for a weekend getaway...she's saying things like "to get the best BBQ, you must drive out of Austin to Lockhart Texas"...and "this restaurant has been around since 1932, making it the oldest family run restaurant in Texas"...uh, no, sorry...I dunno who she's getting her info from (probably the BBQ restaurant), but there is awesome BBQ in Austin, and all around Central Texas...I'm sure Lockhart has awesome meats, but so do Driftwood, Taylor, Elgin, Marble Falls and Round Rock...and believe me - many restaurants have been around longer than 1932...
anyway, its always fun to see how different shows represent Texas, especially when you know the area they are going to...I love when they recommend restaurants that us locals would NEVER eat in - its only where the tourists go...ha...but I'm just as bad when I go on trips to famous places - while in London, I wanted to eat Fish and Chips - and of course the locals just rolled their eyes at us...but when in Rome, right?
The studio move has been successful, I have the kiln running, the generator is hooked up and I seem to have solved the leak in the O2 that I had previously and could not find...the propane tank has been changed to a full one, and I'm gonna do a trial run of beads to see how well the cats will be able to stay out of the room...I used to have a door on my studio, but now I don't...and I don't need any curious furry beings jumping onto my lap...Will letcha know how that goes...
Brian dug out a bunch of grass and weeds and layed mulch early this morning...the yard is coming along nicely..there's still more carving out to do, but eventually it'll be done..our initial work was just tilling the level areas and then we started planting...we didn't prep the sloping areas, and now we are going back and digging them out...but we needed to get the plants in during the spring because its just too hot to plant anything right now...its all maintenance for the next few months...there are some swallowtail caterpillars on the dill that are as thick as my little finger...humongous!
Beads tomorrow? yes? no? Anyone have any money left, or have you spent it on swimsuits and summer camp for the kids?
