A Busy Week for Me!

Hello Glitterinas!

I hope you are staying cool and 

are having a good summer.

We have been busier than usual 

around here.....

well, I have been busier.

Husband is always busy and I just joined him 

for a trip he took to one of 

his professional organization's 

regional meetings.

This year Texas was the host,

so we didn't have to travel very far.

The seven state organization has members 

from....

and...

The three day conference was filled with visits to 

lots of interesting, mostly agricultural sites.

Monday started with a visit to 

Producers Co-operative.

They make all kinds of products to feed 

animals and things to plant.

When we were headed toward

 these crazy, tall structures, 

I told the person I was walking with

"Wow, I hope we get to go up there!"

That was followed by loud laughter....

I can't go up much higher than the 

second rung on a ladder!

This robotic arm was inside the plant.....

.....it was working very hard 

slinging fifty pound feed sacks onto 

pallets.

Next, we visited Messina Hof winery.

We ended up this tour with a stroll through 

their shoppe.

This gorgeous chandy was hanging by 

their front door.

After lunch, the tour continued on to 

the Vet Medicine College of 

Texas A&M......and then the 

College of Agriculture's new 

building out on the West Campus.

Tuesday found us on our way to 

The George Bush Presidential Library.

This was the part of the tour 

I was most excited about.

Our youngest daughter works at the 

Bush School at Texas A&M.

She is an academic advisor for the 

Master Degree Programs.

Here she is now....

She spoke to our groups and gave a small group of us 

a tour of her office and 

introduced us to

some of the people 

she works with each day.

Thanks, Ashley!

After lunch, we went 

                                                                  way 

way

                       way

down the road 

to

 Royalty Pecan Farm.

My goodness, this was a pretty place.

I stood in the shade of this behemoth during part of the tour....

.....so beautiful!

On Wednesday, the conference wrapped up with 

the final business session 

and everyone headed home!

I had a good time, met some lovely people 

from different states, saw some very 

interesting places and got to hang out a bit 

with one of my 

very favorite girlies!

Our week was not over, though.....

more on that next time, Glitterinas!

Thanks so much for letting me 

share with you.

I'm so glad you stopped by!

What are you up to this summer?

Hugs and glitter,

Tammy
