Austin by day...and night

James McMurtry

Our daughter, Karen, said "Dad, you just can't be in the Music Capital of the World and not go hear some music!"  So, we took her advice and went to hear James McMurtry (son of Larry McMurtry who wrote Lonesome Dove)  We really enjoyed our evening out!

February 2nd  Our last day here in Austin.  It was a great week and very successful in that we were able to see all of the Wendish churches on our list, and then some.  Did we get to do everything we had hoped?  No.  We had hoped to see Taby's folks, to see Al and Lois in Georgetown and to drive to McAllen to see Bob and Roxy, but one week is not enough time to 'do it all'.  I guess now that we have had a little taste of Texas we just may come back for more some time.
We are thankful for "Nunap John" (as our girls have already nicknamed him) with whom we were able to spend time on Monday and again this evening, and for the time we spent on Sunday (the whole day actually) with he and his wife, Luan.

Beside being a former principal of Faith Lutheran School in Juneau and principal of Nunapitchuk School, John is also a Green Bay Packer fan as you can see!  Sunday's the big day!!
