Art: #Shakespeare400 Celebrating the Legacy of William Shakespeare

Good morrow, my butterflies! I was on Twitter earlier today as I often am when I'm bored and I came across the trending topic #Shakespeare400. I'm pretty sure this particular topic grabbed my attention because of my admiration for the arts; literary, visual and performance and let's be honest, William Shakespeare aka The Bard is one of the greatest literary artist known to mankind. So I did my research and #Shakespeare400 is the global celebration of Shakespeare's work on the 400th anniversary of his death (today); it is also believed to be his birthday. After reading that, I'm sitting here thinking like WOW! You had to have made a MAJOR impact on society to have your life's work still be appreciated four hundred years later, it's truly amazing!

Visiting Texas: Luby's New Kid Menu

Hey Butterflies! Me and the kiddo had the opportunity to take a behind the counter tour of the kitchen at Luby's yesterday and it was a pretty cool experience. I've been a customer of Luby's for as far back as I can remember, so learning about the history of Luby's and how the food is prepared was very interesting. The fact that the food at Luby's is made from scratch fresh every day is exciting to know.
