well. not *exactly* true. but pretty close. this has to be my all-time-low-number-of-piccies-made trip to ... *anywhere*. the only time i took my camera out was on the long long walk on a Saturday morning with Margaret through Hyde Park. otherwise, i visited, ate, drove the rental car, visited, helped my mama with as many chores and errands as she would let me, watched TV (shudder), read books, sewed beads on paper stuff, hung out with BOTH girls having the best time EVER, ate, drank, let Betsy cut my hair, visited, ate, drove the rental car. there really wasn't the kind of independent wandering time i need for making pictures, but i always see lots of places i *will* wander in the future. when i am not always just a visitor - trying to spend as much quality time with mi familia as possible. still, i can't believe i did not make pictures of Betsy and Margaret. NONE. and none of little Kathy either. what kind of mother/aunt am i anyway???
then i came back and went right back to work. no one noticed that i had nearly a foot of hair cut off. i really *am* invisible! a ghost in this place. i missed my cat a lot when i came home, but was glad he was not miserably missing me while i was gone for so long. and that no friend or neighbor had to come in for his feeding and find him dead. he lived with me for a long time - 11 years. and he was good. {{xox-King Tubby-xox}}
i am liking Texas more and more (even though i once swore i would never live there again never). but god. there is a LOT of vehicular traffic in Austin.

I have a real love/hate relationship with Austin. Wonderful places to eat and see and things to do and oh so cool and fun.
But hot and humid and did I say hot and people drive like the craziest nuts I have ever seen and oh the gentrification and money money money.
Still, it's Austin. Gotta love that.
but good family time is more scarce than independent wandering time and more precious, don't you think?
lovely TX photos. they sort of remind me of CA.
but i seem to have missed something about King Tubby (!)
jennifer, you are right! love/hate is exactly it. so many awesome little neighborhoods that i could never afford to live in, then wondrous Whole Foods that is always so crowded and the cars cars cars. but still, such great energy. i keep wondering if i could live there...
debra, HI!! yes, the family time is usually the most important thing when i am there. never enough of it. King T has had bone cancer on his hip for several months and he went to another world the week before i left. i didn't write much about it in public. too sad, although i was relieved for his suffering (and the messes! ack!) to be over. he had a good life and was a great little companion.
