I have seen it all -- well, maybe not!

You can get vacation boarding for your bonsai plant.

Shady Old Austin

Always a favorite -- Shady Grove and their Sunday food. Their burgers are excellent.

The great outdoors

We used to have flowers in our backyard. Now we have them along the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge.

Asian Crisp Salad is a treat

My go-to dish at The Grove, a restaurant in our neighborhood, is the Asian Crisp Salad -- with chicken and balsamic. I love the textures and flavors -- especially the crispy noodles.

Fond of Fonda San Miguel

We hosted a dinner for the Ballet Austin board and dancers recently at Fonda San Miguel, one of Austin's best restaurants. Colorful flowers and outfits abounded. And the food was terrific as always.

Shake of the Month

A solid choice for Shake of the Month is Fruity Pebbles. We saw this sign at Dirty's Kum Bak -- our favorite hamburger cafe -- the other day.

Tots with truffle oil

Yes, you heard right -- Tater Tots with Truffle Oil -- plus good old-fashioned burgers. Love that Dirty's Kum-Bak in the University of Texas neighborhood.
