Christy hung out on the rooftop for an hour or so; picking up pecans, taking in the view and resting in the sun. Reminded me of myself at about that age.

Fall in Texas

The first red leaf on our Red Oak tree! Leaves turn late, if at all, in Texas. One learns to enjoy the smallest patches of color.

Good Friends...

Karen and Paul! Thank you for your hospitality and love! Oh, and Paul, thank you for fixing the date on my camera. I tried and tried and tried, without success, and you managed to transport us from 2003 to 2007 in a matter of seconds. YAY!
