Absolutely nothing to see in "west Texas" except occasionaly weird "mountains" like this. I'm just amazed by how much space there is out there with no cities, no crops, no cattle, no scenery... And then all the people are crammed into Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. Why?

I was taking the kids to Red Oak Nature Center this afternoon & drove past Mike's house to get there. Saw this outside & just had to stop to take a pic. Love it!

We are in Fort Stockton, TX and this is Paisano Pete. He is the world's largest roadrunner at 11' high and 22' long.

Brendan and some friends came over to do whatever they do with those air guns. It was fun watching them.

First, fueling... It's double-scary. First, you have to get to the pump without hitting anything AND have a way to get out by only pulling forward. (You actually can't put it in reverse when you are towing the car.) Second, I'll spare you all the sticker shock. Let's just say we're happy that we are finally seeing prices under $4...
Second, "as close as I ever want to get to Juarez".
Third, sock #1! Ta da!!!

Just the rig at a rest stop...
A totally amazing "Pig Pizza" at a restaurant in Willcox, AZ. It had pepperoni, pork sausage, ham and bacon. It was only 10", but I could only manage 2 slices...

I guess grocery shopping is in order for me. I had to use string cheese for our meal tonight...nothing wrong with being creative, right!? : )

There've been signs up for a few days now, warning us that Washington St would be closed in the eastbound lane starting today. I found an article online, today, saying that they were planning on keeping one lane or the other closed for construction all the way through October! Yikes! I hope that article was wrong!

The Tonopah exit - again for you Little Feat fans... We HAVE been from Tehachapi to Tonopah...
And apparently, there really IS a University of Phoenix.

We are so humbled by the love we felt at Gianni's party yesterday. Thank you all for coming! It means the world to us! Today, we played and played and played! Such a fun day!

There were a couple of small black & white birds hanging out, all morning, on the lilac bush outside of this window. The cats were on alert there the whole time. We hung some yarn pieces on the branches & put out a birdseed bell, hoping that the birds would build a nest somewhere close.

The first is just a nice train/mountain picture.
The second shows an empty car-carrier thingy that had just passed us. When it was closer, Dick said "Want to do a Hollywood stunt...?"
The third show the exit to Tehachapi for all you Little Feat fans out there...

My current boss "asked" me to send pictures of our trip, so I've been taking them... Took a day off the road today (3/30/11) (for me to work and for Dick to rest), so I wanted to send them on to the family too.
The first is us leaving San Francisco. If I had a better camera, you could see the building I worked in in the distance.
The second is some nice rolling hills just past Gilroy, the garlic capital of the US.
The last is the sock I'm working on. I'm determined to have two by the time we hit Alabama!

This is how she decided to eat her corn tonight.
Origami cranes that she made to send to the Girl Scouts of Japan, along with a donation of money that she found around the house.

Got home from Austin this afternoon...I guess that it's time we cut our SXSW wristbands off.
