April 2, Austin, Texas

This morning is humid and 21C. While chatting with my brother via Skype, he told me that next weekend is Easter and my parents are going ot our son's in Mississauga! Hadn't looked at the calendar, so was rather surprised. We decided to head north tomorrow, so as to be at our son's for Easter.

Spent the morning doing laundry, then after lunch we all went to the LBJ Library and Museum in Austin, which is an impressive 8 story building.
www.lbjlibrary.org
However, it was a disappointment due to the fact that the LBJ Library is in the midst of a major redesign of its exhibits. In late March, the bulk of the major construction in redesigning the LBJ Library begins. Visitors should expect that the core exhibits of the Library will be closed.
Just our luck! We did see the replica of the Oval Office and on the same floor, a pictoral history of Lyndon Baines Johnson's life. At least it was free admission!

Since the library was a short visit, we had time to go to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Centre,






Many wildflowers were blooming beautifully, especially the bluebells!

After supper, we got together with Ted & Jeanette







We convinced Ted to get his guitar out & had a jam session with Lynda on the "Ugly stick" from Newfoundland and Marcel on the spoons. Had a great evening with old friends!


We'll be heading north in the morning!
