Back from Texas

We are back from Texas, here in Minnesota again and again waiting for the sun to shine....it was soul renewing to be back home again, even though the bluebonnets weren't as lovely as they were last year. I figured they would all be up the week after we left. They are temperamental flowers, too much rain and they don't stick their heads out of the ground, too little and it's pretty much the same thing. But, there were some and we did eat a lot of Mexican food and some of the best bar-b-que in the state in Lockhart, Texas, at Kreze's...I am including a picture here of the county courthouse in Lockhart, it's one of the most beautiful in the state. No photos of me, but one dear one of my 12-year old treasure Hannah Joy. She cried half way back to Minnesota, and I did, too, on and off. It had to be one of the most horrible plane trips ever, with turbulence and the parking on the tarmac for half an hour while they looked for some kind of part needed to take off...no air in the cabin and a serious panic attack brewing in me..but, then we left..once again, Steve Earle on my MP3 player saved the day...
