mrdreamjeansYesterday was a delight! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
texwriterbear made the trek out to Brenham from Houston. It was our first meeting and Sean was just as terrific as I expected he would be. We share a birthday, an interest in photography and a history of being from a small town. We also have many Live Journal friends in common. The conversation was easy and fun. I think we've each found a new friend! Thanks, Sean for driving out!
For those of you who can't get enough oftexwriterbear, I took this photo of handsome Sean in Must Be Heaven, a local eatery.
After lunch, Sean and I headed out to take photographs. The Bluebonnets are fading as the temperature rises, but we managed to find a few pleasing photo-ops. (versus photo-oops:) We found some amazingly photogenic Longhorns and cattle. I always like to take cow pictures, as it reminds me ofgotmoof's long time obsession. (Though secretly, I think he's run out of room for cow memorabilia:) I'm including several pictures of texwriterbear's and my afternoon in the countryside and a couple of photos of downtown Brenham destinations behind this cut. The remainder of the day's events is also cut for length.
The Ant Street Inn and Capital Grill
Off Courthouse Square downtown
Unity Theatre - A Professional Theatre

Horny?
Not Another Tourist!?!!
Peek-a-Boo!
End of the Season Wildflowers
Aggie Muster
After Sean left to attend the HRC Festivities in Houston, I headed to College Station and spent several hours with my sister. Yesterday was Aggie Muster. It's held every year on April 21 to commemorate those Aggies, whether former students, current students, professors or employees of Texas A&M, who have lost their lives during the year. A roll call is conducted. When the deceased person's name is called out, a voice from the audience answers, "Here". There are speakers, a 21-gun salute by the Ross Volunteers, Silver Taps is played in darkness only broken by a few candles and The Singing Cadets sing "Auld Lang Syne". It is held all over the world on the same date each year. I disagree with some of my university's sillier traditions, but this event is the one which makes me most proud to be an Aggie.
Sunday, April 22, Horoscope
Sincetexwriterbear and I share a birthday (though are ages are transposed numbers:), I am going to close with our horoscope for the day. becker_boy, pbehr, bigreddee and others who share March 22 as a birthday, you'll find this horoscope quite enjoyable ... knowing most of you. it's quite accurate! *grin*
Some are born great while others have greatness thrust upon them. You, lucky creature, have your feet in both categories. Acknowledge the star quality that makes you inherently you. Now, all you have to do is let it shine.

For the past three years, a Bonfire has been built at an alternate site and the push to get it reinstated continues. I continue to think that's a bad idea.
