I have had a great break from art. I am now behind on all of my assignments, but I needed a rest. The first week of Spring Break I spent with my wonderful, romantic Bill. We put in a new door at his house and I worked on my garden. No trips anywhere, no exciting activities, just work.
The second week I spent with my sister, Katie. We went to Austin and shopped on Congress Street and snacked at Joes (awesome chocolate fried pie and iced lattes). Then we went to Bryan and visited with our family (Grannie, Mom Peg, and Aunt Phyl) and ate at Wings 'n More and DoubleDaves. Saturday night, we arrived in Nacogdoches and headed straight to bed. Sunday, we took Katie to the ceramics studio and taught her how to throw. She did pretty good. We ate at her favorite restaurants: Cotton Patch, La Carreta, and Auntie Pastas and took her to Mr. Wills for the He-man breakfast. She went to all of my classes with me and oohed and aahed over the art at SFA, especially the art ed stuff that they like to hang around the fine art dept. We headed to Houston on Wednesday and ate lunch at La Madeline, Landry's and the Dharma Cafe. We toured several FotoFest galleries, shopped at the Galleria, visited Kemah, and shopped at Roop's Sari Palace (Katie's favorite)and visited Uncle Cody, Aunt Laurie, and Cousin Tyler. We also discovered Maxine's pound cake. OMG, Laurie's mother makes the most incredible pound cake I have ever tasted. You don't even have to put anything on it, you just eat it plain. Saturday we headed back to Austin and ate kolaches, chewy pecan balls, imperial sugar Dr. Pepper's and tacos and Fajitas at the taco stand on Congress.
As you can probably tell, vacations are all about the food. I already miss Katie.
