Bob and I are back together in the Midwest after he left on New Years Day to drive to Des Moines for some doctors appointments that he was able to schedule. He is fine and has had a productive time while spending time with his sister and brother-in-law.
On 12/30, Bob and I finished our housesit west of Austin for Hollywood and Henry and had two nights by ourselves before I started a second housesit for friends in South Austin. The photos below are from the last of our and then my time in Austin. We had a lovely, relaxing stay and were able to spend time with friends and care for some sweet pets.


a very generous gift from our friends.
The following pics are from my walk downtown from my south Austin housesit. The temperature while I was in Austin reached highs in the low 80s F.




One day I went to see the Lady Longhorns play basketball at the new (to me) Moody Center. I parked in the neighborhood where Bob and I used to live and walked about 40 minutes to the arena on the University of Texas campus.






Tomorrow, Bob and I catch the bus from Janesville, WI (my hometown) to O’Hare airport for our flight to London for our next housesit.
