What a Year!

One year in Texas. What a difference!

I now think of 85 degrees as a cool day.

I now realize that it's impossible to get all my home improvement tasks completed in one afternoon.

I have a whole new perception of driving distances.

I have found that international, as in San Antonio International Airport, means Mexico City or Denver or Houston. Period.

Since I published my last blog--Learning to Live with a Lone Star--I haven't written anything. What's kept me so busy?

A brief list:

• Weaving - 2 nights a week
• Contra dancing
• Business trips to Princeton, St. Petersburg (FL), Denver, and Princeton again
• Business trips within Texas--Houston (4 hours away), Dallas (5 hours away), Corpus Christi (two and a half hours away) and Austin (right next door--only an hour and a half drive)
• Sierra Club camping: Devil's River, Guadalupe State Park, Enchanted Rock
• Painting the bathroom
• Making drapes
• Going to plays (lots of theatre/art activity here in San Antonio)
• South Padre Island
• Rearranging my books
• Growing tomatoes and herbs
• Feeding the gluttonous birds in my backyard
• Iyengar yoga (it took me almost a year to find an iyengar class here)
• Driving around and checking out some of the artsy local towns: Boerne and Fredricksburg
