(Community Matters) Steven and I arrived last night, departing Austin after lunch, after most of the EF Fall Service Day (400 high tech employees sprucing up various parts of Zilker Park – thx PwC, our sponsors).
Just the 6+ hour drive is a vacation for us – together & relatively undistracted (only 3 conference calls btwn us), stopping by Rather Sweets in Fredericksburg (saw Rebecca who said the Austonian deal didn’t work out so no she’s not opening a shop in Austin 😦 ).
We took the Balmorhea way in to Marfa, through Ft Davis, stopping off at Joni & Tim Powers for a quick drink and appetizers. Home sweet home – well, we call it our adopted home. Steven pretty beat so early to bed (ughh, hope he’s not getting the cold/flu I had), and I went out for a late bite. Had a late dinner with Tom & Tochi at their star rated bistro, Cochineal. Janie & Dick DeGuerian dining there too as well the new director of Chinati, Thomas Kellein, and his family
This am a quiet morning with ST, shopped the farmer’s market, running into Julie & Fran, Valerie & Robert, Rob W, LouAnn & Ganka.
Have a Marfa Public Radio board meeting this afternoon, then a fundraiser this evening. There’s little better than a few days r&r with my hubby in this highland desert.
