It is a most awesome night. I’m sitting outside with four dogs, listening to occasional firecrackers go off, with CCR on the surround sound - Jim Beam in hand.

It is soooo nice out here! About 70°, with a nice breeze. I’m wearing shorts. Sometimes (ok most times) I love Texas.

I think I need a snack of some sort…

> She has tags, but nobody is answering the phone number, and there’s no voicemail. My husband went to the address on the tag, and left a note on the front door after knocking. Hopefully they are at work, and will call soon. The address is about 7 miles away.
