Dallas Museum of Arts - Jazz Under the Stars

Jazz Under the Stars is a free concert at the Dallas Museum of Arts. They kicked off the summer series last night. It is every Thursday night until June 25th (after that - it's just to hot to be outside).

It was a last minute decision to go, but I do not know why I do not go more often. The DMA is only a block from my office downtown. View from my iPhone - I do not know any of the people in this picture.

Who needs stinky "OFF" Spray, when you have "Thermacell" - not only does it repel up to 98% of mosquitoes, but also repels black flies, no-see ums (WHAT ARE THESE?), sand flies, and other flying biting insects.
It creates a 15 x 15 ft ”Bug-Free-Zone” (thankfully, that doesn't include guys).

Our friend, Allison "Al", came prepared with this handy accessory no girl should be without.
The guy next to us just happened to have one too, but it was unopened. Our gal pal, Al helped him out. Turns out our new friend is a chef, so we were treated to a sampling of pork tenderloin, shrimp, crostini, and champagne.

Shyan's Baby Sprinkle

Love the Monkey theme.. the diaper cake is adorable... Baby Jackson will love his new room.

Uncle JR's "Frogs in a Pond"

This is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. It's wheat "texas toast" - which means toasted in heavy, heavy BUTTER (hello, Paula Dean)
The center of the toast is cut out - and the egg is fried in it..again with LOTS of butter !
My uncle JR made this while I was visiting him and Janae in Fredericksburg.
I'm just saying - a little taste of heaven.
Not sure where the name "frogs in a pond" came from.. but hey - it's good bloggin' !

I think it's a pretty simple recipe... so I challenge anyone reading (is there anyone out there) to try and send me their pictures.

My First Baby "Sprinkle"

Isn't this the cutest invitation?

It's a Baby Sprinkle for my friend, Shyan.

Too too darling!

For the "Gypsy" in us...

Check out this website... fun clothes, home decor, etc. Not sure if I'd buy any of it, but it's fun to look at!

Dancing on the table...

Not really!

This isn't the best picture. This is actually a "little jukebox" that is on some of the tables at the original Campisi's off Mockingbird. It's so fun. I've been going there for YEARS!!! It is still my absolute favorite..

"Room with a View"

Welcome to Paradise

This is where we stayed in Spicewood.

Marble Falls

We had lunch here on our way to the Crawfish Boil.

The view of the lake was awesome.

I can't wait to go back.
