Jade and I spent the afternoon together on Sunday, June 24. It was so hot! The wading pool and some fresh-squeezed limeade helped cool us down. |

Father's Day in Shreveport

Mom and the Sistas |
We all met in Shreveport to celebrate Father's Day. DonnaLynn drove in for lunch from NOLA, Martin from Houston, and I drove in from Austin. |
Michael Craig came in from Pensacola for lunch with his "Navy Dad" Craig. He's on his way to being stationed in the Washington D.C. area. |

In Houston with Martin
Judging by the squawking, I don't think Baba Yega's parrot liked the camera flash. Sorry Polly! |

Visiting with Mandy: June 9, 2012
Mandy and Jade. |
We hope Mandy will come back for a visit soon! She hadn't been in Austin for 16 years. |
Friday night dinner: June 8, 2012
We had dinner with Evelyn, Anjanette, and Jade on Friday. Mint chocolate chip gelato is Anjanette's favorite. Like mother like daughter, looks like. |
Four generations of the girls: Evelyn, me, Anjanette, and Jade |
Jade and Papa have such beautiful smiles! |
Jade was determined to escape the front porch. She was able to duck under the table and head straight for the stairs. She likes to climb up and down, over and over again. |
Beach observations
Did you know seagulls have webbed feet? I'd never thought about it before, but it makes sense, since they dive for fish and swim in the waves. |
Classic beach experiences: couple hugging, boy tossing shells into the water, long shadows late in the afternoon. I was surprised that the sun was setting behind us, not over the Gulf. |

Hearings in Corpus Christi: May 30-31, 2012
Hearings in Victoria: May 29, 2012
The Stars and Stripes and the Lone Star flags, flapping in the breeze. Tuesday was primary election day with voting at the courthouse. |
As is typical at Texas courthouses and public squares, statues honoring Confederate soldiers adorn the grounds. |
