Get your priorities straight!

This restaurant on Rainey Street has a good point. First things first!

Artly's poster

Saw this great poster for our friends Artly Snuff at the Christmas Bazaar. This benefit raised a lot of money to help him after he was in a bad accident. 

Eye and stomach appeal.

Eating our veggies -- this fantastic platter of winter vegetables was served at a Boxing Day party.

Veggie enchiladas -- so healthy!

Had this fantastic plate of enchiladas at El Alma across from the Palmer Events Center
after the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. 

Headliners party is always a big treat!

 This is just part of the fabulous spread at the Headliners Club holiday party for 2016. Saw a lot of people and had some great Bloody Mary drinks.

Swinging Christmas

Just one more from the old year -- these talented Broadway performers came through town and did a great cabaret show a few days before Christmas. Loved it!

Photo of the year

We have been living in this high rise in downtown Austin for 8 1/2 years now. Sometimes we are still amazed by the views from our living room windows when the clouds and the reflection of the sun harmonize. We had lots of choices for Best Photo of the Year, but this one stood out as symbolic of our lives in downtown Austin. Sending this photo as a Happy New Year card to all our fellow bloggers and viewers around the globe. Best to you for 2017!
