navigating to Austin


We made it! Dennis and I are tucked cozily in our sofa bed at the hotel, and he's asking me the hard questions: "mommy, what happened to the dinosaurs? Why were they only made out of boned? Do you know where the dinosaurs are now?". My brain is tired!

It's great to be here with my brother and his family. These are some happy cousins, elated to see each other, delighted to play together (and Dennis was most especially happy about meeting their toys). It's going to be a nice visit, I just know it, but I am missing David and wishing he could be here.

I'm taking my time in forming an opinion of Texas. There are initial impressions like lots of cows, oil wells--neat!, Austin traffic=scary bad, weather: nice. I love where they live--we had a lovely supper in their roomy, pretty home. Can't wait to see the surroundings in the daytime!

Dennis is using his compass here to tell us we are heading west. He was right!
