What a weekend! My friend Sonia came up to Austin Friday night to spend some time with me! Coming with her was her nephews Alex, Tony and Jeremy and her sister Evie, I may be wrong the last person’s name. They stayed at the Hilton down on Fourth Street where I met them both evenings. We did a couple nights of dinner, some drinks (I had to abstain thanks to the cold Somara may be giving me) and did my favorite thing…catching up, telling stories and whatnot. Well, helping Sonia set up the iPad she bought through me, namely configuring it to keep her children Julia and Lucas entertained for the long flight back to Basel.
As an extra treat, Sonia invited her friend Kim on Saturday. I hadn’t seen Kim in 13 years, she looked great! Kim is also married and currently resides in South Austin, maybe I’ll see her again.
Again, I was thrilled to receive the visit. I haven’t seen Sonia in person for three years (thought it was two) but I’m hoping this will become more of an annual tradition. Yet I don’t mind driving to Houston as well, once I get a more reliable car.
