On Saturday we leave my sister and her family in El Paso and head to Dallas to see Checkered's sister. It's always difficult to say good-bye and harder still to wait the probable two years until our next reunion. I am very fond of this west Texas town. My sister's neighborhood is pretty much mosquito-free due to the lack of humidity, so it has been a treat to sit outside at night and chat while the kids swim. Here's a picture of something we will always remember from our trip:
How funny that when it drops into the 90's in the evening, we all say it feels so good outside!
Someday soon, I will get my thoughts together for a better travelogue. Maybe tomorrow's 10 hour ride will be the time.

Yes. The heat. But like you say. No humidity. Enjoy!
It sounds like a wonderful vacation!
I'm in Austin Texas and want to apologize on behalf of Texas for the boring drive you are about to experience. Not a lot to see on that route sadly. Hope you stay cool and have a great time dear!
Dallas is a long damn time from El Paso... of course, everything is a long damn time from El Paso.
It is awful when sibs live so far apart. At least in my family. We miss each other a lot and the longest I am from my sibs is 3-4 hours.
With the garden, though, summer is not the time to visit.

Jeeminy Christmas that's a lot of heat. Have a wonderful, safe trip.
Relish the journey.
I'm writing this on Saturday evening and am hoping you had a safe, smooth trip today. I'd take some of that "no humidity" in a heartbeat, but am not sure about 107 degrees! Have a wonderful time in Dallas!
No mosquitos? Lucky you! I got five bites in five minutes at five o'clock yesterday afternoon AND we've got no humidity.
Safe travels.
No mosquitos and no humidity would be almost heaven! As I sit here and sweat.
