Last Saturday morning I had breakfast with my Daddy and Kathy at Oddfellows...then he gave me this awesome coffee cup! 

Here's to a cup or two to make it to the weekend! 
Cheers and happy Friday!

PS...Look who's in town this weekend...

Library Loves!

The library conference was in town over the weekend and so were some of my FRIENDS!!!

Friday night we dined together and went to a cocktail party together.  So much fun catching up!

Dinner was at Enos Pizza Tavern in the Bishop Arts District. 

It is sooo yummy!

Then, our friend Rosie got us cocktail party invites where we all one art except her...I owe her something fantastic!

She's the one in the blue dress holding my winnings and looking not very happy!

 Everyone else, of course was very happy!

 

Libraryland is always full of delight and adventure...oh, and love of course!!!

These are my Obsessions: The Pillars of the Earth

I recently finished The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.  I have been wanting to read it for several years, but just downloaded an audio version for my drive to and from San Antonio.  This story is more than just about cathedral building in medieval times...rich with character development, this is a story of endurance, jealousy, ambition, bravery, revenge, and love.  I was enthralled by lives, the setting and the story!

And just like always when I spend hours with characters who become my friends...when it's over--I'm sad...

But now I've found out not only is there a mini-series...

There's also a sequel!

The obsession continues!!!

Have you read Pillars?!?!?!  Did you love it?
If not...you must!!!

Happy MLK Day

via

 A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.  The location is the motel were MLK was assassinated.  The visit not only capture the amazing life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, but also highlighted the boarder view of civil rights globally.  The exhibits were extremely powerful and well done.  If you have a chance, I recommend a visit to this amazing museum. 

 

From their website:
The National Civil Rights Museum, located at the Lorraine Motel, the assassination site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., chronicles key episodes of the American civil rights movement  and the legacy of this movement to inspire participation in civil and human rights efforts globally, through our collections, exhibitions, and educational programs.

Some Cedars Socializing

The Cedars Social.

I've been there twice.

 Once last weekend.

I've enjoyed a fun drink both times.  (They also have to-die-for mac and cheese.) 

Oh, and the 70's decor is pretty fun, as well. 

 

Have you been?  Will you try it?  What are you up to this weekend?

P.S. Photo credit goes to their website...mostly.
