while I was away...

While I was away the last few days, a few things happened.

While I was away, my guest post was featured at Songbird.

Marianne is on vacation and is featuring several guest bloggers.  

I hope you'll take a minute to visit and leave a comment.

While I was away, I enjoyed a great view and amazing sunsets.

I'm a newly elected member of my state's professional association's executive board

and we had three days of meetings in Lakeway, Texas which is just a bit west of Austin.

This is the view from the balcony of my hotel room.

Still on the balcony, looking down the lake.

Yep, sat on my balcony and enjoyed this view.

This is a view of the sunset over the lake.  

These sunset pictures were taken from the 3rd floor deck of

the restaurant where we had dinner one evening.

I'll have a couple of more posts coming in the next few days.

I'll reveal what that vintage red metal thing is and my plans for it

and I'll show you the coolest thing I just bought off of etsy.com
