This past weekend, I sent my wife off on a personal retreat. She spent time away from the constant needs of the family. She walked and prayed and watched a movie. A day and a half off. 

Meanwhile…I held the fort down. 

I want to brag about it. I want to talk about how impressive it is that I managed 4 kids, 2 sporting events and kept everyone alive and happy (mostly). 

But then I remembered that this is literally what my wife does EVERY DAY. 

She is so impressive. I am more thankful for her than ever. 

Cheers,
Nolan

A coastal escape in Bee Cave

Brunch, happy hour, or a polished night out, Cafe Blue at the Hill Country Galleria makes any occasion feel special. The airy space glows with coastal charm, and the menu leans into fresh seafood with Gulf oysters, stuffed shrimp, and sesame-crusted tuna.

Weekend brunch brings salmon avocado toast and warm beignets, and the strawberry jalapeño margarita is a must-try. Attentive service and a stylish setting make it an easy favorite.
