This is not what I did, but what I am going to do. About 4:00PM yesterday, one of Gary's cousins and his wife (they're just a few years younger than us) called to say they were on their way to Austin from Oklahoma City. It was a completely spontaneous trip (sort of). They are leaving from Galveston on Sunday for a cruise, and since Austin is not too far out of the way from Oklahoma City to Galveston, and since they had never been to Austin, on the spur of the moment, they decided to spend Friday and Saturday nights in Austin. Okaaaaaaaay! Now, we are entertaining relatives all day today and this evening. I must be fair, they said if we were busy, it was fine since this was completely unexpected by them and us. In reality, Gary and I didn't have any plans this weekend that couldn't be changed, and we are happy to see them and show them our favorite city - Austin! It's a good thing my housekeep came this week so the house is at least presentable.
