Field trip!

Today was another rainy day - well, not quite rain exactly, but weather of that type that we called guti in Zimbabwe, a fine lacing of rain suspended in the air and ingratiating itself down the back of your neck, making you damp rather than wet. To assuage the cabin fever I felt after a week in bed with the 'flu, I made a thrifting trip downtown.

I so wanted to buy this vintage dress, just for the label, but unfortunately Andrea's Choice isn't polyester. I mean, this one is, but mine isn't. I've got a bit lost in my own sentence there.


Vintage! But I was very restrained. I came away with only one '50s dress.

Austin folks have been recommending Kerbey Lane to me ever since we moved here, and I went there today for lunch. It was great, predictably.




I love all the murals and wall art scattered throughout Austin ... they really sum up the spirit of the city.

This is a resolution I can wholeheartedly support.

P.S. My agent sent this through to me today - exciting!
