April in Texas

We spent part of the second and third week of April in Texas with Debby. It turned out to be (by Debby's reckoning) the most beautiful time possible. The weather was perfect: cool, with warm sunshine, and the bluebonnets, for which Texas is justly famous, were at the height of their bloom. As we always do, we ate, shopped, visited, watched movies and we got caught up with Project Runway and Victoria.

Thanks to Debra Sue for such a great week! It was delightful, and home seems a bit boring by comparison. That's all for now.
