Birds, Parades, Sunshine…It’s Beginning to Feel A lot Like Springtime!
San Antonio is one of those wonderful places where spring
shows its true colors early. I was
excited to hear from the Battle of Flowers Association last week about their
Fiesta parade on April 26. Parade Chairman Donna Vaughan announced this
year’s parade theme, “Celebrations,” as they revealed the new parade grand
marshal, actor Armie Hammer who will be joined by his wife, actor/journalist
Elizabeth Chambers for one of the country’s largest parades and the only one
completely, 100% run by women!!

You might remember Armie best as the Winkleboss Twins from the
movie Social Network and soon he will
appear on the big screen as The Lone
Ranger with Johnny Depp as his sidekick, Tonto. (I don’t know how many of
Depp fans remember the Lone Ranger and Tonto, but I know many of you who read
this blog do!!) Armie’s gorgeous wife
is best known in SA for her bakery, Bird Bakery!

Gigi and I headed over there on our day off

selection! Amazing food…perfect
atmosphere…just wish it was closer to my house!

Well the return of The Lone Ranger. That certainly takes me back to my childhood. Johnny Depp will make a good Tonto!

I love how you and Gigi light up San Antonio! It really does seem like a cool place to visit and you can bet if I'm lucky enough to make it there you and I will be sharing a sweet at Bird! xo
You do a wonderful job of bringing these events right into our homes, Pam! Wish I could be there. And Gigi – those trousers are great!
If I ever come over to visit you, promise to take me to that wonderful place, after a good roud at GOOWILL of course.
Dream, dream…

Great, now I'm hungry – and I'm writing about food today, too LOL.
I think Gigi looks terrific and she wears her whimsy well. A perfect outfit for a confectionary outing 😉
That bakery just looks so fun and inviting and what a cute name
Armie isn't too bad either 🙂

Oh yes, bring on the chirping birds and blooming flowers – so ready for Spring. We have on similar blazers today!
Love Gigi's so pretty pants! Somehow I missed the fact that you're from SA…my husband's family (Mom's side) is all from there. Delightful city!
