Gifts from a very talented friend - Austin, TX - April 2009

An unexpected gift arrived last week in the post. Such gorgeous handcrafted items, fabric birds filled with lavender and an apron made from linen and vintage fabric and buttons. A beautiful and thoughtful gesture, that brought a smile and warmed my heart. Thanks again dear friend.

Hello!

Late last week, I had a terrific visit with one of my favourite Americans. Erin and I met in grad school and have managed to keep in touch since graduation by way of a few face to face visits and a bit of old fashioned (and much loved) correspondence. Erin is such a wonderfully intelligent, spirited, beautiful individual and I so appreciate that she and I have been able to develop the friendship we share. Thanks Erin for making the trek down here to Austin!
We have a visitor staying with at the moment; she is a black and white Beagle and goes by the name Bailey. We are dog sitting for a friend while he is overseas on business. Bailey will be with us for about ten days, and things seem to be going well so far (knock on wood). Speaking of house guests, in two weeks time we have family coming to visit, which we are eagerly anticipating. It is always so nice to spend time with loved ones. Summer is almost officially upon us. This weekend heralds the arrival of Summer, although here in Austin we have been experiencing late summer weather for the past several weeks already.Wishing each of you much wonder and peace, till next time...

Exciting News!!

I have exciting news. Amy, a dear friend (the beautiful bride, married 13 May 2006) has just shared wonderful news with us, she is pregnant and due in July!!! We are so excited for her and Jason; they will make absolutely fantastic parents!!!! Scott and I send our heartfelt congratulations to both Amy & Jason and their families!!!!


My darling Christine (the lovely lady on the left) another of my dearest friends is pregnant with her second child and her cesarean is scheduled for the 16th of February, Chris of course is hoping for an earlier arrival ;o)!!! In a recent email message she mentioned that her 23 month old son William (he is a sweetie and will be two on the 3rd of February) has decided that he doesn't want a baby brother or sister. Chris and Alex will have an interesting time dealing with this latest development, in addition to preparing for the newest addition to the family. We look forward to news of the baby's arrival!!!
