Eat. Drink. Live.
A nature preserve with a historic home — plus walking trails and roving peacocks. A lovely spot for an afternoon with the cousins. Cousins in an arch. And on a walk. And when we came back, we were treated to […]
Before heading out to lunch with Sarah and the girls, Sam takes a plunge in the pool. And, upon return, a pretty sunset. Related posts: A Lovely Rain Enjoying the Tree Sam Gets a Kiddie Pool Relaxing at the Pool
We had a true vacation day on Sunday. Just relaxing and resting by the pool, on the nicest day of the trip. After a swim and a nap, we took a walk around the neighborhood. Then back home to grill […]
Here we go, friends! Off to Texas to visit Jessica and Sarah and their families. After a harrowing Friday morning — I took an emergency visit to the doctor for a diagnosis of strep! — the antibiotics kicked in enough […]
A sense of calm fell over me as I descended into the garden at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas. Sculpture isn’t usually my thing — not sure why, I guess I just haven’t studied it enough to appreciate it. But gardens […]

Jessica and Kelly hosted the whole family for dinner on Friday night, including Sarah and Mae and Jane, and Kelly’s brother and sister-in-law Brady and Karen and their two girls. You might say it was a family reunion of sorts. […]
After I remembered, sadly, that the old Las Manitas had been torn down to make room for more condos in downtown Austin — there are two photos of the exterior in this post here — Greg and I were at […]
Since leaving baseball, Kelly has started his own building company, Kelly Wunsch Homes. On Friday, we went on a tour of the job site of his latest project. We were hoping to see the concrete slab get poured, but the threat of […]
Mojitos, a grill, a fire and family. What more could you ask for? Related posts: Baseball with Fisher; Legos with Reece Supper with Chris The Farm Smokes Some Butts Fried Chicken Saturday Night Supper
Sarah and the girls and I headed to Frank, the artisan hot dog place in Austin, for lunch on Thursday. All in all, good food. But something about the atmosphere was a little annoying. For one thing, it was super-loud. […]
Next stop on the Austin visit — Jessica and Kelly’s house. We settled in and caught up briefly, and then headed out to Fischer’s baseball game. Related posts: Flank Steak with Garlic and Herbs Iron Pizza Chef: Pizza Night in […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
