Friends and Family

It rained for the better part of the day and except for a short trip to the post office to send off for my absentee ballot from good ol' Duval County Texas, I stayed indoors. A couple of hours of that time was used visiting with friends and family via Windows Live Messenger; absolutely wonderful technology. God bless the Internet. I have said it before and I will say it again and again. From where I sit, visiting by webcam is good medicine to stave off the pangs of homesickness.

What I have posted here are a couple of great screen captures of my visit with my good long-time friends Janie and Alonzo Lopez from San Diego, Texas and also from a good long video-chat I had with my brother Ricky in Beeville, Texas. I was able to see the latest addition to the Salas clan, baby Olivia, as-well-as her proud mother, Mary.
Proud Mary? Isn't that an old Tina Turner song?
