Visiting my bro in Texas!







On Monday, June 16th I flew to Dallas, Texas to see my brother, Michael, as well as, his kids Mikel, Greg and his new granddaughter, Lilly! A long overdue trip, but worthwhile. I particularly enjoyed the good restaurants Mike took me to, the beautiful park where he rode his bike as I walked around a lovely setting of a lake and beautiful homes, long conversations, (mostly me listening, Mike loves to talk!), watching "House", going to the movies and best of all, meeting Lilly! Unfortunately, I missed a few key players, David, Mikel's husband was out of town on business and Mike's girlfriend, Lesley was out of town as well, but left me a nice card. No surprise was Mikel as a wonderful and loving mother. Mikel is impressive in every way!! Greg was a very caring and doting Uncle, and seems to have taken on the role with great enthusiasm. Mike was a wonderful host and was disappointed that I failed a bike test he gave me. He is such an avid bicyclist that he was hoping his big sis could ride along side of him, but alas, I had to walk! Pictured is his living room, turned music room, where he finds great solace in his music world! Also, I learned Mike takes a nap daily, but never too far away from a computer!! Thanks Mike, Mikel and Greg for a great trip!
