My annual judicial conference is always in Austin on the kids' birthdays. Syd Stroh is now in Dallas SMU Cox School of Business but we still got to have dinner with Connor Stroh on his birthday. Delicious Bistecca alla Fiorentina reminded us of being in Italy at Grandpa's! Happy Birthday Connor!

Have to say, Connor Stroh heart is as big as the rest of him! Loved seeing you with aspiring "Big Humans!"

Happy Birthday Syd Stroh! So glad we all got to celebrate with you!!

Traces of Texas reader Jared Tye thoughtfully sent in this wonderful 1960 aerial shot of the courthouse square in McKinney, Texas. If you look closely, you can see the old J.C. Penney store above the courthouse, just right of center. The Courthouse Square was established when

So proud of Connor Stroh and the unbelievable amount of work it takes to balance his commitment to his team and his education...and excel with both!!

Thrilled our cousins Brian & robbin powers were able to come from Iowa to watch Connor Stroh play Saturday...and hit some Austin classics along the way!

I am praying for our country and our world. Something MUST change before we are irretrievably lost.

Happy Birthday to my "little" brother Nick Stroh....or as he's known in our family "Selfie Nick" because that arm is so long we never need a selfie stick to catch everyone we want in the picture!

Home from an incredible day yesterday Ryder Cup!! Still in awe of the "Never Say Die" fight in our Ryder Cup USA team and still disgusted and embarrassed by the behavior of way too many of our fans to Ryder Cup Europe

Let's get this done Pete Hegseth JD Vance

And the place of great "wish we could remembories..." 😉😂 #GigEm '92

Not dealing with the chaos State Fair of Texas but glad to still get to see Connor Stroh while he's back in Big D! Proud of Syd Stroh crushing her 1st batch of midterms SMU Cox School of Business this week...she's earned her Fletchers Corny Dogs tomorrow!

Congratulations to Tom Daley who had long deserved this recognition for his support of Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas!

"Called sober friend. Sober friend arrived intoxicated" 😆 Gig 'Em Texas A&M Police, one of my favorite follows. Props to "sober friend" who is usually very busy on game days @ Kyle Field.

Fun fact: Judges get called for jury duty too! I'm actually selecting my own jury that day and can't do both no matter how well I think I multi-task 😆...so I have to reschedule jury duty. Luckily our Collin County Govt system makes that very easy to do online!

I am Team Oxford Comma today, tomorrow, and always! 🤓❤️

Whooooop!! 👍

Why am I having trouble believing this is happening? Oh yea, decades of Lucy holding the football...I was there for all the winning in the early '90's and those feelings are finding their way towards the light again. 😂 #GigEm👍
