Bye, Di!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.  It is time for Di to return to Austin.  Since June 11th, she has slept in her Austin bed for two whole nights.  I think she is ready to get back to her normal routine.

But we will miss her.  Babs will really miss her.  We loved having her as a hiking buddy, a sous chef, a cookie baker, a shining light during stressful times, an information source, and an all-around sunny individual.  It would be fun to have her stay with us longer, but she has her own life and her own things to do.

Safe travels, Di!  We love you.
