Austin is Great

Why, you may ask, I write that Austin is Great. I'll tell you why. First of all, It's a well cared

for city. I like that. People here seem to take pride in the way Austin looks. There's a

minimum of trash thrown around and when people see it they take the trouble of picking

it up. The city has a large grounds staff that is always available to do the necessary repair

and maintenance that a busy city usually requires. Secondly, the people are very friendly,

always greeting you with smiles and " good morning" when we're out taking our early walk.

Thirdly, Austin has so many things to offer; music venues from jazz to ballet, abundant

museums and historical structures, a veritable cultural feast. They certainly like animals.

Our condominium has a wide selection of designer dogs who even have their own special

building entrance. The dogs, of course, are as well behaved as their masters, so it seems.

It's three days to D Day when we leave for Ft.Lauderdale then on to the Queen Mary.

I'm just getting used to our Condo with its superb views of the city surrounding us.

Also, our proximity to so many family members who we rarely see when we're at our

permanent home in Sandia Park.
