Annual Lighting of the Square

IMG_6579

The City of Georgetown as well as the cold, blowing rain came out for the Annual Lighting of the Square.  There were Christmas Carols to be sung, the Mayor to be greeted, and Santa Claus to tell your Christmas wishes.  I took a few photos out in the crazy cold front from the North, and then hurried over to the Monument Market to warm up with some turkey and squash chili and hot green tea with honey.

Courthouse Sunset

2015/01/img_3481.jpg

There is one major requirement for a lovely sunset – sun! After about 360 days of cold, cloudy, overcast, rainy weather in the Austin area (it seemed like that long, but I lost count), the sun finally returned to warm us up. We all thought we had moved to Seattle. Hooray sun!!! Please come back tomorrow. 🙂

The Uptown Social

This afternoon, I find myself at The Uptown Social in Georgetown. They have a groovy wrap-around rooftop terrace that overlooks the downtown square with views of the Williamson County Courthouse. I took some photos, then came in out of the 90 degree heat for a bite to eat. This is a casual restaurant and bar if you find yourself in Georgetown.
