Diggin' Dallas


I am enjoying one party after another in Dallas in the run up to the wedding reception on Saturday. My brother has found himself a real life gun-tottin' Texan wife. Last night was the family party at the ranch - complete with cattle, cowboys, dune bugs, jeeps and shooting guns. Certainly different and great fun.
Other events have included watching basketball, shopping, bird watching, meeting lots of the new family and the customary visit to the doctor for Phoebe - she was stung by a Texan style yellow-jacket and reacted to the sting. She is OK now.
One of the real highlights is the generous hospitality of our new Texan family and friends. They are so caring, kind and thoughtful. Nothing it seems it too much trouble: food, cups of tea, shopping, taking the boat out, playing golf, playing basketball...
Still 2 more parties to go before the Big One
