Downtown Asheville (August 9, 2019)
 |
| Mya |
 |
| Mya hid her "bright idea" rock on the turkey's head. When we walked past later, the rock was gone. |
 |
| Look closely for the hidden "Beto Rocks" stone |
 |
| Shakes at the Chocolate Lounge |
 |
| Checking out adjustable calendars at a local art gallery |
 |
| Fox |
 |
| Starbucks cup, cigarette butt, and the Fox rock painted by Mya on a windowsill |
Hanging out (August 8, 2019)
 |
| Movie night with a Smurf movie and the bacon and sausage that was on hand for Fox but enjoyed by all |
 |
| Painting rocks to hide downtown. The Kindness Rocks Project has gone nationwide. www.thekindnessrocksproject.com. |
 |
| Fox blows leaves off the trampoline |
 |
| Fox and Piper and a little leaf blower air. And Piper's stuffed doggie she named "Skyler." Take note, Micah. |
 |
| Brandy, Mya, and Fox |
Hanging out (August 7, 2019)
 |
| Centrifugal force, one more time. The snake wins! Fox is playing air hockey in the playroom. |
 |
| After their bath, Piper showed off all her gymnastics awards. |
 |
| Mimi and Piper |
 |
| Beto for President! His life-size figure arrived in time for the debate watch party to be held at the pool clubhouse. |
 |
| We're bad. We couldn't resist hiding Beto to scare each other. Nothing like reaching the head of the stairs in the dark only to have Beto staring down at you. I don't think Beto would mind. |
Triple Falls (August 6, 2019)
 |
| Clear, cold, rushing water not too far from Asheville. Not quite as cold as Barton Springs, thank goodness. I even rode the falls but River's video of me was too big to upload. |
 |
| River rides. |
 |
| The current carried Mya down the rocks after her inner tube got away. Ouch! |
 |
| Piper's ready. |
 |
| Once Fox determined there were no sharks in the water, she was game. |
 |
| Ryder and me |
Happy belated birthday to me (August 6, 2019)
 |
| Celebrated the big 66 with some of my favorite people in the world. |
 |
| First time I've ever seen my name on a birthday card. Perfect! |
 |
| Surprise! The card contained lottery tickets. The kids had a great time scratching the cards. We won $20! |
 |
| Thanks for this beautiful necklace with the grandchildren's birthstones: Emma in August, Mya and Otis in May, Lulu in July, River and Fox in March, and Piper in April. |
Asheville (August 5, 2019)
 |
| We conducted our annual centrifugal force experiment to determine which object would be the last flung from the ceiling fan. |
 |
| Mya can wear my shoes. Those are Fox's sparkly toes on the left. |
 |
| River can almost wear my shoes. Next year? |
Finally! (August 5, 2019)
 |
| Fox counted the days until our Asheville trip. August 5 finally arrived! |
 |
| Flew directly into Asheville for the first time, thanks to Spirit airlines. Usually take Southwest to Greenville/Spartanburg. |
UT Club at Darrell Royal Stadium (August 1, 2019)
 |
| Met retiring State Office of Administrative Hearings judges at the UT Club to celebrate new beginnings. |
 |
| Lone Star lighting, Bevo upholstery, burnt orange everywhere. |
New home for Amon and Fox (August 1, 2019)
 |
| Update your address books. Amon and Fox have moved to this two-story condo at 9226 Jollyville Road, Unit 153, Austin, TX 78759 |
 |
| On August 1, Amon (owner/occupant) and I (co-borrower) closed on a condo through Condo Joe, who's been working with us for 20 years. He helped us purchase Ryder's condo near UT, Amon's condo on Riverside, and now the condo in the Arcadia complex. We're hoping the property will not only be a great home for Amon and Fox but also a good investment. We celebrated at Z Tejas. |
