Since our last post, we have continued to be pretty busy. For our birthdays, we were treated to a trip to Santa Rosa to visit Lorrie and John in their new home. It is really a classy house in a wonderful setting. We had a lot of good food and, of course, wine.
Returning to Carlsbad, we then went to Orange for my 60th HS reunion. The night before we had a reunion for our "core" group of OHS friends at Terry and Nancy Teigen's house. The next night at the reunion we had about 50 classmates at the reunion. Fun seeing people, some of whom I could recognize or at least remember.
At the end of September we returned to Sugar Land. We had been considering getting a place in the Texas hill country, between Austin and San Antonio. So we spent a few days looking around the area. To our surprise, we found a place we liked in Wimberley. You may have heard of it since it since it was one of the areas on national news during the big flood on Labor Day. After that we decided we didn't want a place on the river. Anyway, we made an offer that has been accepted. We will be going back there next week to be sure that everything is as we want it. Closing is to be before the end of November. We will continue to live in Sugar Land but use the Wimberley house as a get away. Val's brother, Chesley, has a place there. So that's exciting. Val has furniture in storage that will be a great start. Stay tuned.
