I am so behind on my posts but wanted to share with you a glimpse of the beautiful flowers in the Napa Valley this weekend. While the grapes weren’t yet on the vine, and bud break has just begun, the flowers were in full bloom and overly impressive. These are wild flowers, flower beds, succulents… basically…

bring the valley to home.
It’s easy to take a mundane week night and make it into something glamorous. Such was the case last Thursday when we brought a taste of the Napa Valley to home. One of our favorite experiences in the wine country was when our industry friend setup a tasting at the super remote Krupp Brothers Vineyard….
new orleans: better than ever.
If you ever have the opportunity, head to New Orleans for St. Patrick’s Day. I most certainly was not prepared for all that New Orleans delivered during St. Patrick’s Day weekend. I figured young Tulane co-eds would don their “Irish I had a Beer” t-shirts and weave drunkenly through the people on Bourbon Street- – and…
swamp tour.
Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be persuaded to take a swamp tour on the Atchafalaya Basin. My co-worker turned friend is from Phoenix– the farthest thing from swampland– so she decided we were most certainly going to do a swamp tour.

pg refurb= success.

Yes, the carpet was a little warn and yes, there were a few tattered table cloths in the dining room, but nothing unsightly. This refurbishment makes me that much more excited to embark on our 10…

sneak peek- guest blog
There are people that you see in photographs and you instantly know you’d be friends, without even really knowing them– My guest blogger this week is the one and only, Julie Wilhite. I met this incredibly talented photographer when she walked into the showroom for her then “day job.” Being in the same building, we routinely made lunch…
Ride ’em, cowboys.
Howdy! Yeehaw! Ride ’em, cowboys! While the vernacular isn’t found only during rodeo season in Texas, it is certainly more prevalent. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of Houston’s biggest and best events all year. Cowboys and cowgirls come from near and far to show what their made of in a large dirt arena…
rodeo houston.
Why would someone vacation in Houston? I mean seriously, have you seen the size of our mosquitos? Freakin’ Pterodactyls– I kid you not. I realized last week when talking to a few colleagues, that I take one of Houston’s greatest events for granted:The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Every March, cowboys and cowgirls from around the globe…
