Taking a minute

I'm taking a minute to post some of the things we have been doing in Galveston.  Yesterday was the "support group" outing.  It started with a bus tour of the historic district --then onto the pier for a dolphin watching excursion.  The wind was rough and the water was extremely choppy.  Only one dolphin decided to make an appearance, but we had a fun time anyway.  After that was lunch at the Olympia Spa on pier 21.  Great food!!!  Then back on the bus for a tour of  "The Bishop's House".  Oh my!! The wood and marble work was beautiful.  Last was a tour of the 100 year old oak stumps of the trees that DIDN'T survive the 1900 Hurricane.  The stumps were carved into shapes that the landowner considered dear to them.  Amazing.  Back to the hotel.  Then Jim and I decided to walk "The Strand" (shopping district) and dinner at Willie G's on the water.  This morning was spent in hotel watching weather.  Tornado WARNINGS for us and short but very powerful storm.  This afternoon the sun was shining and no evidence of storm at all.  Tonight will be the SAIA President reception and later, dinner with friends.  This is a busy week!!!  Well,  I was going to add some pictures, but forgot my apple password.  Now my account is locked until Apple sends me a way to reset....said it could take a FEW DAYS!!! UUUGGGHHH.
