A Houston Saturday

Today was a lovely day for Houston in the spring. Temperature around 80, with a breeze and low humidity - the kind of day that Houstonians live for - they don't happen too often.

We had no schedule today. We just went out for lunch. Ken's still on soft foods, and some potato soup from a local eatery was what he craved. And we drove by the place where I grew up (the house isn't there any more - there's one of a row of townhouses) and where another aunt used to live. And then watched more basketball.

Two cousins - the one we're staying with and Ken's son in The Valley went as delegates to their state senate district conventions. Both went as Obama delegates. Both conventions started in midmorning - one got home at 7:45, and the other about 9:15. What an ordeal! I don't quite understand how all this works - it's a unique Texas custom.

Tomorrow is another day of rest - getting ready for Monday, when it's back to the hospital for most of the day.

Glad everyone is resting up in Houston. Safely arrived in Biloxi. Found some good fish for supper, but no crawfish etoufe (?), yet.
