TEXAS

Its been almost five years since I experienced a Texas summer so I was a bit worried about the heat when I ventured south for a visit.  Even though it was October, given the record setting highs and the persistent drought conditions, I feared the worse.  Fortunately, the weather cooled slightly on arrival and so far has been nice.  A "cold front"  Monday night dropped the temperatures into the 40's (just slightly), while the sun warmed things up during the day. 

Last saturday we attended a family reunion.  Lots of food family and fun. 











Later Nancy got to meet my Jr High friends.  Doc TJ Terry Becky & Tony.  Her week in Texas ended way too soon.  I stayed an extra week, spending part of that time back at the lake cleaning closets and rearranging things to my satisfaction.  Dad's dog Juneau was kind enough to accompany me and he seemed to like the change of scenery.  All too soon my own time was up and back to Alaska I headed.
