I'm accompanying my son to West Texas, an eight-hour drive. We'll be staying in Alpine. While Walter will work with wildlife, I'll be able to visit Big Bend National Park and McDonald Observatory.
Here we are en route, paying a quick visit to Fredericksburg, a Texas town settled by German immigrants back when.
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.
