Yesterday was a pretty busy day. I headed West with the ultimate destination being Fort Worth's Cowtown where I was meeting my parents for dinner, but I made a few detours along the way. I stopped off in downtown Grapevine at the British Emporium.
I was looking for a few things that I needed for my Royal Wedding watch party. Of course they didn't have what a I wanted, but I still managed to drop a load of cash. I got some Lemon Curd, Clotted Cream, Jams, some other stuff I won't reveal to you until I do my party post, and this tea towel...
After that, I went to meet my parents who were visiting Fort Worth for the weekend in the RSTB (Rock Star Tour Bus). We ended up eating at Pappadeaux and then I finally headed back home. Once at home I stayed awake reading until 2 a.m. Ugh! Why do I do that?
Today, I worked a little more in the yard. My Mom brought me some plants yesterday, so I did a little rearranging of what I planted the other day and finished everything up.

I have a plan for this towel, so stay tuned.
I then headed on over to Fort Worth to visit my friends Matt, Suzanna, Bennett, Kate & Lucy dog. Matt went to work but the rest of us headed off to J Rae's for cupcakes!
Ben & Kate anxiously awaiting their cupcakes...
Enjoying their cupcakes...
or at least the icing!

Yesterday morning I got out the spray paint. You may have noticed in my photos the other day that my black pots were a little chipped, so I fixed them up...
and I painted a couple of clay pots for my tables...
I decided to add a little color to my world!
I finished this planter up with some plants Mom brought me...
I've tried so hard to plant things that will not give up the will to live in our hot summer. I hope everything makes it and looks good all season.
Someone enjoyed relaxing in the shade while I did all the work!
I wish this was a 3 day weekend! I still have so much I want to do, but thanks to my 2 a.m. bedtime last night, I'm lacking the energy/motivation. Oh well, maybe I can find some time this week to check some items off my list.
