Well Folks - plans are coming together for our gathering in Austin, Texas.
The dates: Dec 28 to Jan 3rd.
The Place: A victorian mansion and neo-tudor cottage in Hyde Park, a quaint neighborhood in Austin near the University and the downtown area.
A block away from Maya's new studio apartment

Here's the hype:
Immerse yourself in comfort and style
Daydream on a swinging bench -- with a beverage in your hand
Unwind beneath the tranquility of magestic pecans amidst soothing gardens
Imagine yourself on double-deck wrap-around porches

It looks wonderful! We are so sorry that we cannot be there. Have an extra glass of red wine for me - and some locally brewed beer for Gary. Cheers and have fun! Terri and Gary
This is a beautiful house. I found the website for it...

Oh my, that is a beautiful house! We may not be able to stay quite as long as I had hoped. Steve my have to be back on Jan 2, as he is involved in a trial regarding an estate, and it is supposed to start on Jan 2. I figure it will be postponed, but I can't count on that.
We should know this week if he has to be back for the beginning of the trial. Then I can get the tickets.
