Texas Trip

We had a lovely trip to San Antonio, to visit Grandma & Glenn, Steve & Lois, Christopher, Aimee, Noelle, Robert, Brynn, and Steven--as well as the five cats.  It's very interesting to be part of their lives, especially the musical treats, like the Dixieland Band rehersal (above) and Steven's music recital (below).  There there was Glenn's eye infection, the lost (and found) hearing aids, and getting the walker into and out of the car.  Grandma had a very good week and Glenn's health was restored.  The children are darling and the cats give Grandma something to watch and worry about.  We enjoyed seeing both Old San Antonio, including tea at the Mad Hatter's, and the New (very fancy) Shops at La Cantera.  We ate wonderful meals and bought lots of new clothes.  All in all, a great vacation.



The night before daylight savings time began, we were treated to a delightful meal at the home of my friend Shih-fen, so we (Scott, me, and other international students) could meet her friend Ruth, now of North Carolina, but heading to Chico, California in the fall.  What a wonderful meal and such delightful company!  Pity that we had to get out of bed at 2am to drive to Jacksonville to take the plane to San Antonio.
