Visiting Skip and Celia

So great to catch up with my cousin Skip and wonderful cousin-in-law Celia. They live in Fairview, just north of Dallas. We spent a lazy morning chatting and preparing salads for dinner with the clan, all of whom live within a 20 minute radius. (Gordon made brownies. Heather chopped the watermelon from Celia’s garden.) Then Celia practiced piano while Gordon and Skip got the tech situation under control. I made a general pest of myself.

Celia and Skip are quite the gardeners, and they have made a backyard paradise for themselves, their dogs, and their small grandchildren. I asked Gordon to take a pic of me on the kids’ play set with Skip’s experimental fruit and nut garden in the background. Try to imagine it behind the Wilson Nicoll memorial thumb in the frame. (*damn!*)

Del Webber’s will appreciate that their HOA not only does not put limits on the number of pots you can have, but also allows sculptures of BUNNIES to remain in full view of your neighbors!!Read more
