We took a little trip done to visit the girl last weekend. She called us saying she was having phone issues, this was confirmed when I couldn't get in touch with her for two days. Now ordinarily that doesn't mean there is a problem necessarily, we have gone three whole days without communicating. I usually look at Facebook and know all is well by her posts and frequent sharing of every dog picture she comes across. But after sending messages, emails, and numerous unanswered texts, I knew something was amiss, but the confirming factor was that there had been no fb posts from her phone. She did finally get on her computer and let us know her phone had given up the ghost. We figured something like that had happened, but when you lie in bed at night all sorts of horrible images run through your head. It's a parent thing, I guess. Well now we had our excuse to go visit, plus it was spring break and she had two extra days off, and it was the annual Houston Italian Festival which is held on UST's campus.
It didn't matter that my brother, God Bless him, had gotten the phone situation taken care of before we got there. We figured there were other matters to be taken of, restock the fridge and pantry, check on wheelchair maintenance, and take an overall assessment of the girl in general.
She was doing well. She had just finished midterms and was ready for some down time. So we walked through the Italian Festival and had a wonderful time.
We wandered toward the children's area because there were soccer playing dogs performing. Since the girl is all about everything dogs, this was the first stop...
These guys were too cute...
and they love their soccer balls.
We wandered through the booths of food and trinkets...
there was music and lots of entertainment...
of course he was singing, O Sola Mia...
Benny and I had a great time...
but it was truly all about spending time with the girl. She looked fine and we were satisfied that all was well, until the next time we need an excuse to visit...
Have fun my girl, see ya soon. Now it's about time to pay the boy a visit, let's see what excuse can we come up with....
