We had a fair turnout for a mid-summer luncheon. Clockwise: Mike Crye, Jim Rushing, Marvin Howard, Doug Dreggors, Mauricio Nuñez, Larry Pavlichek. More pictures here. |

The jury was out as to whether or not Edward was taller than me now. I had on boots versus his tennis shoes. It's a sure thing that the next time I see him I'll be looking UP! As for that sign in the background, you'll have to ask Angie as she took this picture! |

Ed was back in the States for Edward's graduation from primary school. The whole family is joining him in China for the foreseeable future, and we got invited out for a farewell dinner of Texas BBQ at Spring Creek. I snapped these pictures as we were leaving. Don't know what Nenette has been feeding Edward, but he's shooting up like a weed! |

We got invited up to Wylie for the annual Charlie/Dallas Allen birthday party again this year, and we had a great time, eating too much as usual. Here's a picture of the birthday boys themselves. |

We've been so busy that we didn't really get out to look at the Spring Wildflowers this year. I have spent a few mornings walking in Breckenridge park where I snapped these "Firewheels" or "Indian Blankets" in bloom. |

Who else could head from China over to Hong Kong for a leisurely May Day holiday and manage to stay in the same hotel picked by a swine flu infected traveler from Mexico? Three guesses and the first two don't count! Ed Nance told me via Skype that he was doing well, the room service was great, and he's got used to the quarantine. I think between all the complimentary beer, pizza, and Godiva chocolates, he might better find the work out room! |

We made it to Dyer for a week's visit in April and managed to arrive at the peak of the spring bloom season. The pink Dogwood were particularly pretty this year. There are more pictures from the trip here on Flickr. |

While we were visiting in West Tennessee, we took off one afternoon to go up to Paris and visit with some high school friends of mine. Alice Ball McCutcheon has lived in Paris for years, and her best "buddy" Carol Mannon recently retired, bought the house next door to Alice, and moved to Paris. While we were there they took us out to the Paris Winery and showed us the sights. Here we're sitting outside the soon to be open restaurant at the Winery. L-R: Carol Mannon, Alice McCutcheon, Angie Harrison, and Jim Harrison. There are more pictures from the trip here on Flickr and more pictures from Dyer here. |

We got invited over to Russ' place for a crayfish dinner this weekend. The boys cooked up about 50 lbs of crawfish along with wurst and steaks. They might have overdone the spices just a tad as Lewis looks like he's about as red as the crawfish! |

It's been a busy spring for us, and we barely had time to get down to the Arboretum to see the blooms. More pictures here on flickr, and I'll be adding even more when I get the time. |

I finally made it up in time to get to a "First Friday Breakfast"! There was a very good turnout as you can see. At our table, there's Jim Wallner, Joe Culp talking to Ralph Ashbury, Bill Gaylor, Gil McCombs, Jim Harrison, and Hector Hinojosa. And at the table behind I can make out Jerry Brown, Park Dolph, Everett Turvey, Max Schaeffer, Bill Kiefer, Peter Grau, and Vic Cawosky. Lots more pictures here, or just click on the picture. |

We dropped by to visit with the Allens up in Wylie one evening, and we all wound up exploring old downtown Wylie. April, Angie, and Isabella found the perfect spot for a tea party in this curio store which just happened to sell tea, coffee, and ice cream! |
