my husband took me for a nice lunch date today - we went
here.
it was really nice to sit down just the two of us - without any computers or music or anything.
let's get back to the texas summary, shall we?
mmmmm, blue bell ice cream. this needs to come to utah. i'm writing letters, don't worry.

they also had R2-D2 mailboxes - my husband said we've got them in SLC, too, but I'VE never seen one. so we had to take a picture.

what is this picture of? i have several of them. a bug? a dead flower?

and now, a hippopotamus sculpture. we went to see a garden w/
Charles Umlauf's sculptures. it was fabulous.

called

my husband did a
lot of this

(up there, we're at the capitol)
and here's one more shot of my hubby, we're at a garden in austin. :)

people, there is more to come. if you can stand it.

hello friends!
we're visiting Austin, and i'm loving it. we had lunch at Rudy's - delicious barBQ. and then this evening, we went to the capitol. we were walking around, when 2 guys (about our age, mid-early 20s) come up to us and says 'hey man, would you take our picture?'
i kind of laugh and say, 'gee i wonder why they asked YOU' -- my
husband is a hobbyist photographer, and was carrying one of those SLRs around his neck at the time.
he comes back and says, they asked you first. i say, what? he says, they called you ma'am.
and i said -- i've never been called a ma'am before. (true story)
spencer says 'you're in Texas.'
welcome to the south, baby!
