1. Driving to Austin in the rain we saw a water tower painted like a giant water melon in Luling. We passed by the elegant courthouse in
Lockhart; I heard the bell chime & I took pictures. I made self portraits in the car.
2. The nerves in my left ear are not as well as in my right ear. On the way back from my doctor I remembered you when I crossed the arched
bridge over the Austin Lake.& I saw the beautiful blue water.
3. My Dad saw a trailer he thought didn’t belong on his ranch. My Dad shouted for our neighbors to come out from their goat farm to learn
what they know about the trailer, but instead he attracted all the goats to himself. I picked flowers to press later at home. I stood alone
outside almost in the middle of nowhere & it was completely silent with the setting sun at our ranch along the highway. The night was chilly
on our way home. I watched many stars in the night sky out the window. I also could see the glow of the lights from Austin in the distance.
4. The rest stations are larger & better now. I saw many old artifacts from the Sequin area like a spit can for tobacco & large ice tongs used
before there were refrigerators. There were also arrow heads made by the aboriginal Indians & a German language newspaper printed by
the immigrants.
5. I wished I had a mobile device I could speak to my friends with. I liked the big wagon with a computer built in it. I practiced my Chinese
characters on it; I wished it had Internet access or I would have updated my Qzone account.
