Catching up–August

I have been very remiss in keeping up with all that has been going on so I am going to do it in a couple of  blogs.

The Friday after the last Red Hats Luncheon we loaded up the bus and took a trip to the LBJ Library.  Neither Wayne nor I took a camera but we had a good time.  The library has been redone since we were there 20+ years ago.

The following Thursday night we loaded up the bus again and headed to an Austin institution “Ester’s Follies.”  I took pictures with my cell phone so they aren’t very good.

The decorations are still as bright and eclectic as I remember.  This is the entryway.

As we entered the theatre we were greeted by some old time Austin residents.

The murals on the walls were so bright they were almost garish.

Here are some of our fellow residents as we waited for the show.

This fellow entertained us from outside on the street while we waited for the show to begin.

After the show began we were unable to take pictures but the show was irreverent, satirical, and downright funny.  The action took place both inside and outside the theatre and we all had a fun time.

The following Saturday was the last weekend in August and the beginning of UT football season. Wayne was able to score two extra tickets and we took daughter, Nola, and grandson, Matt.

Matt the techie took this blended picture of the field from his seat and then emailed it to me.  Cool.  His iPhone takes great pictures.

So long to August.  I’ll post September next.
