Blue silk

Here I am prepping my sister, Sabrina, to be Justin's next painting subject. Her daughter, Isabel, wanted to pose just like her mother.

Palm tree cake

My friend Katie is a great hostess. She threw a birthday Luau for her husband Spencer (not pictured) with great decorations and even made a palm tree-shaped cake. She thought of everything. Justin didn't cooperate very well when Katie and I decided to get some pictures, as you can see by his expression.

Austin, TX

Here we are downtown Austin, TX. We just saw the bats fly out from underneath Congress Ave. bridge which is behind us. It was 104 degrees F most of the time. The city is clean and full of fun things to do. The people are nice and we really didn't see very many cowboy hats. We loved it. That shining light in the top right corner of the photo is a street light.

She's Gone

Justin and I said good bye to Sam and Tatum this week. They're moving to Chicago. It was sad. We got free pizza when we went over there because they bought it for those who helped them pack up the truck. Justin helped more than I did...I only carried 2 bags and 2 chairs. Hopefully they'll come back to California and we'll karaoke again. I'm going to miss Tatum.
