While wintering in Texas and visiting Big Band National Park, I wrote a column about the famous park (see the current posting in 2016 WTE & CST page of this website). Several Wyomingites from my readers group responded, telling of their own TX experiences. A write from Montana also emailed. He shared this photo of TX wildlife.
Though I now live in Wyoming, I make frequent return trips to California with visits to travel club members along the way. At home I play classical guitar, enjoy gardening and cooking, and participate in group yoga. Getting together with family and friends is high on my agenda. I value people who write or make music and love it when my adult children and their offspring play their instruments, sing songs with me, or discuss what they read and write. Such gatherings help me cope with the losses in my life, which have been severe. Next year I hope to visit family in Germany.
