Deep In the Heart

I went down to Texas recently to meet the new family and get things lined out for schools and such for the move down.  Texas was not what I thought, although I'm not sure what I had pictured.  Something between Dallas and The Beverly Hillbillies, I think.  (yes, forgive me, Texas)

I did meet the family, or, at least, some of them.  I learned to play canasta and really enjoyed myself.  My future family are good people and I look forward to meeting the rest of them.  (Let's all remember me writing this for future reference)

My hunny and I went down to Port Aransas to do some bird watching and I managed to get some great shots.....


I love all the birds.  My beloved blue herons were everywhere and we even managed to get a couple of shots of the whooping cranes.  We talked of taking the girls down next year so that they can enjoy it also. 

And now I am home, getting things organized and working as much as I can.  Only three more months before the big move and I want to feel that I've done all I can do so that I make a clean break...that may not be the right word.  'Getaway' isn't what I want either.  'A fresh start' may be better. 
Trips to my storage unit, going through clothes, packing books (lots and lots of books!), and general organization is in my future!!
