Survived the Holiday Season
We did not take many pictures this year. No, not even Joey! Lee took this one of us together with the dogs on the night we put up our Christmas tree. We went to the Mercado Christmas celebration with Grandma Margaret on 24 December. We had a lovely Christmas Day meal with the Lupa/Carlson clan, Joan Jones, and the Reads. It was pot luck, so we didn’t have to do too much cooking, but we wound up with all the leftovers. Yum! Joey did make plum pudding, and it was a hit. George and Nancy joined us late in the evening on Christmas Day. We went to breakfast with the…

Mayfield Park – May 2008
Mama and Papa came to visit Daniel, Kay, and Andrew. The day they left town, we had breakfast at Cafe Java with Troy and Christinne. After breakfast, we went to Mayfield Park to stretch our legs and get some fresh air, and walk of the yummy food. Mayfield Park includes a wonderful garden, and has peacocks. There was one peacock that really understood the program of showing off for the visitors. He stood around for twenty minutes while we took pictures. Here is a link with more information about Mayfield Park: https://www.austintexas.org/listings/mayfield-park-and-nature-preserve/6859/ We had a lovely lunch at home with Kay, Andrew, and Daniel. I got to hold Daniel for half…

Nancy and George Visit Austin – March 2008
Mama and Papa came to Austin to visit with Kay before Daniel was born. During the stay we decided to spend a day out all together. First we stopped by the fire station to visit with Troy. Then, in celebration of the lovely spring weather, we drove out to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The Wildflower Center is a remarkable garden and research station situated in suburban south Austin. Take a look at the center’s website: http://www.wildflower.org/

A day with Papa in San Antonio – July 2007
LisaDiane and I spent Saturday in San Antonio with Papa – It was so nice to see him. Papa was in SA to attend Promise Keepers. We met him after the event and enjoyed an afternoon browsing in the shops on the Riverwalk, exploring the dragon exhibit at the Institute of Texan Cultures, and shopping in Market Square. We had dinner at El Mercado and bought desert at the candy counter at Mi Tierra.

Thanksgiving in El Paso – November 2005
LisaDiane and I spent Thanksgiving week with my parents in El Paso. She and I had just recovered from a couple of weeks of flu, so we took it easy – LisaDiane spent a lot of time knitting, we took a drive through the upper valley, we had lunch at Little Diner in Canutillo, and we saw a couple of movies (’Good Night and Good Luck’ and ‘Pride and Prejudice’). Toward the end of the week we were feeling a little more adventurous, so we went hiking up above the theater in McKelligon canyon and then drove to Chico’s Tacos for some lunch.

Papa’s visit to Austin – July 2005
This year Troy, Kay, and Mama gave Papa a trip to Austin for his birthday. We did a little scheduling and managed to find a weekend Papa could be away from work and Troy, Kay, and I would all be free – of course it was 2 months after his birthday, but we found one never-the-less. We took Papa swimming at Barton Springs Pool, toured the new Cabela’s store in Buda, had pizza at Mangia, and took pictures of deer in my neighborhood.
