AROUND AUSTIN

NANCY IN FRONT OF TILE MURAL AT MUSEUM......SHE MATCHES!
I am  blessed to be part of such a special family. All of my mothers sisters and brothers are gone now, but their children, my cousins, carry on the legacy.  On this journey down memory lane through Texas, my heart has begun to feel that legacy, in the company of these great people who know how to laugh so easily and bear the burdens of life with amazing grace.







Cousin Nancy, who is an Austin native extraordinaire, offered to be our tour guide and we had a wonderful afternoon at the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas.
We saw a collection of Hudson River artists, as well as the permanent collection of western and other art. Then we took to the driving tour, learning all about the development of the Texas state capital and viewing some of the many unusual iconic treasures of the vibrant city of Austin.

THE LADIES ARE THE COUSINS
We ended the day with cousin Sylvia and her husband Curtis, sharing camping stories and laughing over excellent Mexican food.
