Saturday, Karen, Connor and I drove to Austin to visit Dave and walk around  the UT campus. We had a lunch at Mamma Mam's and went walking and shopping.  Photos are clickable to embiggen :)

Group of protesters in front of the Scientology Center. They tried to hand me pamphlets and told me Scientology was a cult. I said, "No thanks," and informed them they were preaching to the choir.

I enjoyed the murals around Austin. Here are a few of them.




We went to Quackenbush to have a coffee and treat and let Karen visit memory lane. Con bought a lovely iced valentine cookie to give to this girl he digs. The drive home was hard. we were both tired. I was less tired, so I drove. I slept beautifully. I am glad we did a log of walking (even though I had girlie issues and my back was killing me) and the weather was great for it. Con liked the campus and it did have the effect we wanted: to make Connor more excited about College.

David is the son of our friends, Caryn and Matt. They are Con's "godparents". Con calls David and his sister, Skyler, his cousins. David is a Freshman at UT's school of engineering.

Happy birthday to the lad! I always enjoyed Austin. I wish my part of South Texas was more like it.
