Just to get you caught up, Robert plans to leave us at the end of the month. He feels Vanessa's giving birth to Emily Elizabeth is more important that hanging around here and enjoying our company a few times a week. However, moving to the east coast to be near his ailing mother is an acceptable reason. We will lose his companionship, but may meet up with him in the future. We did have a wonderful time camping this past weekend with him and Kym at Garner State Park. Azucena and I celebrated her birthday last month (April 27, but this was not on that day). We went to Fonde San Miguel as usual and met up with some enjoyable ladies with a wonderful French background. Unfortunately, I don't remember their names, but when I find out, I'll update this. We visited with them the next evening at the mothers house and had the most wonderful time. Mom was born in France and has lived in Austin. Her husband passed away recently and the beautiful house they have is now a bit big for her. So she will be moving to Houston soon, to be with relatives. Her daughter, Monique? or is that the mother, was born in Austin and now lives in Dallas (but visiting Austin at this time). I think Monique was the mother and Katherine was the daughter.
