Austin

Yesterday, Saturday, Carol and I left about 8 am. We had a quick visit with David in The Woodlands, managed to see Bryan for 30 seconds before he took off on a bike ride after trail running last night. ( He is training for a triathlon).  David seems to really be doing well, and I am so happy about that.

Carol and I stopped in Brenham and had a good lunch at Must be Heaven, then went to a used bookstore and a couple of antique stores. Then we arrived in Austin and delivered the dehydrator to Will's co-op. I had impulsively bought it a couple of months ago after impulsively thinking I could be Mother Earth again, and eat raw more. Well, I realized that I had been there done that and there doesn't seem to be any going back, I would rather do other things. I will keep on with my morning green drink, and try to eat healthy. Anyway, the co-op is happy. Will looks great, and we took off and went thrift store shopping where of course everyone found treasures and Mom spent $100.  We then went to eat at an Indian cuisine restaurant called Shalimar.  It was ok, but way too spicy and heavy, and I didn't feel too great afterwards. During this meal, the kids twisted my arm, as usual, and we decided to go to a 10:00 showing of  Moonrise Kingdom at Alamo Drafthouse. This movie is not showing in Houston, but on 3 screens there.   So after checking in to the hotel, then stopping by Whole Foods and picking up some chocolate covered ginger, we waited in line for a very long time to see the movie and get a decent seat.  It was ok, but I don't see what all the fuss is about.

So it was after midnight when we got back to the hotel. I had originally thought to go to church at University United Methodist because it is near Will, but he has to go to work and we had a late night so I decided against it. I got up at 6:45 and have had a couple cups of coffee while Carol still snoozes. I am going to go get on the treadmill for a bit, then we can just chill here for a while. Checkout time isn't til noon.  

I plan to stop at Yarnorama on the way home and spend about $100 on yarn for a crochet jacket I have been wanting to make.  We should get home midafternoon, then Carol is going to audition for a part in Baytown Little Theater's summer musical.
