A nice sunny day. I am sure we will get some more unpleasant winter weather, but not so bad while it lasts...

Babette working and enjoying the sun...

It snows in Texas sometimes.
Dad and Mom got up before dawn to watch the first snow in their new house. Once
the 'rosy fingers of dawn' came in from the east, Dad took pictures to capture
a fleeting moment:
The wild oaks through the living room windows;

With the pink of dawn still slightly visible, Dad trekked out to the road (his
footprints are at the left) and captured Two Trees in an unexpectedly serene view;
A closer picture of the larger wild oak;

and from the other side, snow on its multiple trunks, showing why these trees
are so appreciated in Texas.
The snow had melted by mid-morning, but the parents enjoyed while it lasted a reminder of the weather they left behind when they moved from the northeast. Perhaps they will get homesick enough to come visit us up here soon…
Carl in computer heaven...

Babette and her Dad figuring something out (related to their archive of the construction of the house).

Well, after getting up at 3:30 a.m. to catch a plane to Dallas, I managed to get most of the computer work done.

Moving files from an original NeXT Cube to an iMac.

While upgrading a Powerbook...

In the meantime, the ladies were enjoying the day...

Here they are discussing the procedure.

Now that they have a plan, time for execution.

Nancy, not so neutral observer.

Not easy work, I assure you.

Shallots, potatoes, blanched bacon, rosemary, piment d'espalette, garlic.

Browning the beast.

Adding the potatoes after cooking the rabbit for 45 minutes.
