While we are in Texas, Brenda and Bug are at our house cat-sitting for us and threatening to redecorate our living room in red velvet and marble columns. I thought some of my readers (Hi, Mom!) might be interested in seeing the cool photos she’s been taking or reading the posts she’s written about exploring our neighborhood. She’s only been in our house a few days and she’s already been to a coffee shop I’ve never set foot in. When I get home, she’s going to have to be my tour guide!
