We've been thoroughly enjoying some extended visits with Dillie these past few days. The above photo shows brother and sister with the Corpus Christi skyline in the background. A real highlight was seeing Dillie's backyard (photos below) with the neighbor's orange tree cascading over the fence and all of Dillie's beautiful flowers and shrubs, the names of which were all new to me and have now completely flown the coop. Yesterday, Glenn and Dillie visited for HOURS while I scanned photos from the absolutely incredible and beautiful photo albums that Glenn, Dillie and Jo Anne's mother put together chronicling their family through the years. (I am only on volume 2 of 6 if that gives you any clue.) Monday was Dillie's birthday and we were lucky enough to be here to celebrate it with her. We went out to dinner at Water Street Oyster Bar and sang "Happy Birthday to Dillie" over a candlelit hot brownie ala mode, the restaurant's special treat for the birthday girl which she generously shared with me. Good times!

Always good to visit. As Dillie celebrates another birthday, we were happy to find her in better health and good spirits...more energy, more stamina, able to walk better, longer...Go Dillie! (Funny, her tongue has never fatigued...tee hee!) Somehow, Molly and Betty have escaped being photographed...probably moving too fast for our little camera! We toured Sinton with Dillie as tour guide on Tuesday...more about this later.
