The World's Most Patient Dog

Baxter being his most patient as Vivian "gently" removed his collar and fervently rattled it at him. He obviously looks thrilled that I am recording this moment for all eternity.

Viv and Lousie Nevelson


We took a trip to the Blanton a couple of weeks ago and Vivian happily posed in front of a partial Louise Nevelson sculpture- it was too big to get the whole thing in frame. We had a delicious roasted veggie pizza at the museum cafe afterward. I won't say that was the best part but it was a really good pizza.

Window Tinting in Progress

After much thought and number crunching- we decided to get the front windows of the house tinted. The afternoon sun was just causing too much heat gain. Looked into solar shades and they are both pricey and obtrusive- so a lightbulb finally went off and eureka "tinting". We got the ceramic tinting which is a newer product and it looks great- no mirror effect and the windows just look a little darker. Two bonuses- we get the windows cleaned on the inside and we get about a $200 rebate from Austin Energy- how cool is that (no pun intended).
