Happy Birthday Insite: 10 Years

It was a wonderful discovery 8 years ago to meet Adrienne Beam (now Adrienne Cornelsen) who founded Insite Interactive. Yesterday was their 10th anniversary and we were so happy to join the celebration. These guys are my lifeline. They design and run the website, and put up with me on a daily basis (that is not an easy task). Shown are Danny, Melissa, Adrienne, Evan and Chris, but there are so many others, and I apologize for not including you in this pic. Thanks for everything and on to the next 10 years.

A lunchtime travel tip

Airport food can be fraught with lousy food, but my advice in a pinch is this: it is hard to mess up a quesadilla. So flying back through St. Louis, we picked Tequileria, where our hostess Cathy was celebrating her 50th birthday. Charming service, great lunch and zip...we are back in Dallas.

Vivo Restaurant, Chicago

We asked a real foodie with great taste to recommend a lunch place which would wow, and friend Philip came through with flying colors. Vivo is one of soooooooo many restaurants lining West Randolph in Chicago, which is a former meat packing district. We could have come back for a solid two weeks to sample the other appetizing restaurants, but were so happy with Vivo.

PS: Lets hear it for the graduates....

Mama Teich treats for Mothers Day Din-Din....

What a great group of smiling faces, and who wouldn't smile with the end of school in site and summer around the corner. Thanks for coming y'all, we really, really enjoyed the great company!

Mothers Day 2008.....

The only solution to Mother's Day was to wake up with one child and hop on a plane to Chicago to spend the rest of the day with Alysa. And what glorious weather received us .... I have to say that I have never seen more tulips in my life, from Evanston to Michigan Avenue (shown). And keeping with the windy city theme, they were dotted with windmills and all sorts of movable accoutrements. Is that a rainbow shining on Northwestern's Arch? After a brutal winter, Spring has arrived...yea!!!

It's Mother's Day in Kansas.....

Yes, this is what Mother's Day is all about. A pair of beautiful Jay Hawk cousins born within 6 weeks of each other and there is joy all around, even as far as Cinci where the proud grandparents reside. Get ready, Kansas sports teams! Here come the boyz!

Welcome Visitors....

We love visitors, young and old. This cute shopper, Alexandria, loved helping with the gift wrap, and the other cutie has finished her semester at University of Texas and dropped in for hugs. Look for her on the campaign trail this summer and fall...you go girl!

Cheers to Celina....

In the midst of our glorious Waterman trunk show, our favorite Minnesota visitors joined us to celebrate Celina's birthday....Drop on by when you are in town; you never know, we might have a par-tay going on.
