Day 27. Tonight Nan and Donald came over for the evening. We enjoyed tidbits and champagne and waited for the ball to drop in New York. That’s as late as we can make it… Casa Magnolia, Wimberley, Texas

We had New Years Dinner (a day early) at the Uptown Blanco Restaurant, Blanco, Texas

Kerry, Lee, Madeleine, and baby Everett drop by on their way home to Dallas. Left to right, Gil, Nan, Lee with Madeleine, Kerry with baby Everett.  December 29 and no coats! Casa Magnolia, Wimberley, Texas.

We have wonderful sunsets here in the Hill Country.  This was taken from our porch at Casa Magnolia, Wimberley, Texas

Going out to dinner in Driftwood, Texas. Kerry and Lee and their two children Madeleine and Everett are in town from Dallas visiting Nan and Donald, so we and they went to Mandola’s for dinner.

One picture a day. I have to choose! Yesterday I couldn’t resist the beautiful patterns in the water and today I can’t resist this amazing iris. I noticed it yesterday, December 24. It has frosted here a number of times and everything that can’t take frost is dying down. But this white iris decides to bloom. It bloomed very low to the ground and it’s frost damaged, but it is an iris bloom in December. Casa Magnolia, Wimberley, Texas.
