It was great to visit with Diane and George, and to get to see Daniele and to hear her sing. And I made a new friend in Patrick, her pianist and coach.

I didn't take a lot of photos, since it felt sort of like being at home, but I enjoyed it all: visiting Diane's classes, various trips, lots of good meals... and preparing for the party, doing the party and cleaning up from the party. It was all good.

• They have a beautiful back yard.
• South Padre Island!
• My all expense paid trip to Mexico, thanks to Diane :-)
• George's art and Daniele and Patrick's music was beautiful. I only got a few photos :-(
• The Rest Stop north of Brownville had lovely touches :-)
