Sunday in Austin

Remember in my post on Friday when I mentioned the birds that made a lot of noise, like mourning doves on steroids? I found out today that they are White Winged Doves, just like the Stevie Nicks song. Their call, which goes on from 4 in the morning to 10 at night, sounds like "who cooks for you", with the accent on "you".

This morning we went to Threadgill's for brunch. There was a band called "Bells of Joy" who recorded their first record in 1951 and sold a million copies. It was cool.

After that Nana went with Jill and her kids to a birthday party. Poppa and I went to Hippie Hollow at Lake Travis to go swimming. I learned that Tiggers aren't the only people who don't need swimming suits:





Below is a picture of Sergey, Jill, and Larisa, minor parts played by myself and Nunyet.




Tonight we went to a jam session with Jill's band The Studebakers.

I thought Siggie was big until I met this Maine Coon:











I felt a lot less like a snack when this woman held me:






Jill's brother told us that last summer Austin had 105 days with temperatures over 100 degrees. Next time we're here will probably be in a February!

Tomorrow we leave for Fredericksburg, Texas - On the Road Again!
