We drove about seven hours today to the Austin area, where we stopped to see Roseann's cousin, Karen, and her family, who moved here last year from Idaho, where we'd visited them before. Karen's mother, our beloved Aunt June (a sister of Roseann's mother), happened to be visiting her now so we were very glad to see her again, too. We've visited Aunt June several times over the past few years when we've passed through Utah. I joked with Aunt June about her receiving her new brain... For many years, she had something called "essential tremor" which made her hands shake very badly. She had a procedure done recently that added a sort of pacemaker for her brain to help correct that, and apparently it's worked very well... I didn't notice her hands shaking at all, and she can write and do other things with her hands again that she hasn't been able to do for quite a while.
We had dinner and talked with Karen and June while the girls played with Karen's three kids. I guess it's toad season now, and they all caught a bunch of toads out in the yard and had fun putting them on their heads. Tiggy came in the house and met Karen's two cats... They were friendly enough to him but there was still some tension there, and I'm sure Tiggy didn't appreciate that both cats used his litter box that we had brought in for him. He's spoiled that way, I suppose... he's never had to share a bathroom with anyone before.
It was already pretty late and we'd had a long day of driving, so we couldn't stay too long. We said goodnight and headed to an RV park in Georgetown to stay for the night.
The girls having a dance party with Brendon and Sophie...
A very awkward meeting...
Toads for everyone...

Hey, cool! My folks have lived in Georgetown for the past 20 years....they moved there back when it was a small town --no Walmart, much less an IKEA.
Unfortunately for you, they are in Georgia with us right now. Be sure to say hi to all the landmarks for us.
I hope that you are all feeling much, much better by now.
