Judy, We had a wonderful time at your house this week. The beauty of Woodville was glorious! Those azaleas! How did you get them all to bloom for us? Thank you so much for all the driving--I had never before seen all of Tyler county in one day! Really, the trip to the pitcher plant bog was a real treat for me as a biologist. That is the first time I have seen carnivorous plants in the wild.

Jan, thanks for leading the trip to Houston. You got us where we needed to go. I loved seeing Lucy and the Ethiopian treasures.

Barbara, thanks for the yummy toast/grilled veggies. And I am glad we got to see you, Sandy and Linda. The meal at The Grand Lux was stupendous!

Cathy, thank you for taking me with you in your car. You are a great chauffeur and I really enjoyed the Tom Clancy book that we listened to.

Helen, you are a wonderful blogstudent and you get an A+ for your project!

Everyone else, wish you had been with us!

The Azaleas in Woodville are in full bloom and are beautiful. We took a long drive with Judy as our tour guide and shopped all the quaint stores as well as many nature sites.
