It’s been a week-end I’ll not forget in a long time. Friday night at midnight I called 911 for Geno who was having difficulty breathing. He was taken to the Austin Heart Hospital. He was just at ER on Tuesday after a nasty spill and a makeshift cast put on. On Thursday we went to […]

This week-end we enjoyed the sun with clear, blue skies and some resemblance of normalcy in the Dillard house hold. I brought Geno home from the heart hospital and nurses and therapists have been checking in and working with him. His red motorized wheel chair has been a God sent and things are looking brighter. I even took him […]

He was sure his 3 falls on Saturday just caused some bruising but the excruciating pain he was experiencing coupled with my son and daughter coming over to help lay the down the law, resulted in a trip to the […]

Watts before the game started! Unfortunately my Geno fell 3 times on Saturday (once when out to dinner with friends Saturday night) […]

The second week-end of ACL is under way in Austin. If you’ve had enough and are looking for something else (maybe a little more quiet and relaxing) to do and in the mood for a short hop, skip and jump this weekend, head out to our beautiful Hill Country and stop at this southwestern style grill located […]

I know Anita Clark is our Queen of Facebook marketing here in the rain. I never miss her Facebook Friday series and always appreciate her advice and suggestions. When a course came up going over advertising on Facebook I made a point to go because of the success Anita has shown us. Austin PT 50 offered […]
