Denton Firefighter's Memorial 2010

Hubby participated in the Denton County Firefighter's Memorial today; playing with North Texas Pipe & Drum Corps. This yearly event has all Denton County Fire Departments (31) represented, honoring those lost in line of duty the previous year. They marched around Denton's town square, and then ended up at the Denton County Firefighter's Memorial. They finished their set with Amazing Grace.

Austin Farmers Market

Fall is here but down in Austin it feels like a beautiful spring day! Farmers market (4th and Guadalupe) is just like the city - eclectic! Canopies were scattered all throughout the trees. The fall harvest is in full swing with local farmers, all organic, selling their wares.....peppers, squash, eggplants, farm fresh eggs, grass-fed beef, and fresh seafood. Pure fresh honey, jars of marinated feta, and little pies. Warm kolaches, spicy breakfast tacos and coffee. I had an iced chai tea that was delicious!

These radishes are out of this world!

These peppers were to gorgeous not to photograph!

Carolina on my mind

We spent last weekend with great friends and had a wonderful time on our trip to North AND South Carolina. We were lucky to attend the Univ. of South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Alabama Roll Tide. #19 USC killed #1 ranked Alabama. We enjoyed Carolina BBQ, drinks, and lots of laughter and cheer. 82,000 screaming fans, yelling GO COCKS!










The Carolinas are gorgeous this time of year - leaves starting to change, cool mornings and clear nights......



The town of Huntersville (suburb of Charlotte) was lovely....tucked off side of road was this historical marker.

In Charlotte, we hit Diner, Drive-in and Dive's recommendation of Cabo Fish Taco Seafood Grill. We noshed on BBQ mahi-mahi tacos........yum!!! http://www.cabofishtaco.com/ We also hit Red Rocks http://www.redrockscafe.com/ for lunch one day - and their food was also amazing.

The trip was fantastic and it was so good to catch up with old friends who are very dear to us. The only bobble in the vaca was coming home, our flight left an hour late from Charlotte. We had to sprint like Olympians to the next gate in Atlanta. We jumped on board and they closed the door behind us....whew!
