July and August 2024 An Austin Summer
After an extended trip away from home we spent a couple of weeks just getting re-acclimated to Austin. With the Grandkids in Austin for a few weeks we adopted one of our neighbors cat for a month so they would have a pet for their Austin summertime.

August
 |
| The Pottery was ready to be picked up at Laguna Gloria after being fired but the kids were already back in Seattle. We went to fetch the pieces and took a stroll around the grounds. |
 |
| Austin had an very unusual amount of rainfall in July and into August. |
 |
| We drove up to visit the Admirals Father on my Birthday, I drove straight to Braum's and got a double dipper. |
 |
| That evening the Birthday continued at JD's |
 |
| This old Golf clubhouse in Big Dave's neighborhood has been out of business for several years, a new Office building will replace it. |
 |
| A Miracle happened when we finally got together with a couple of life long school friends, we had a great 3 hour lunch mostly talking and talking. So many forgotten memories came to the surface. Roxanne on the left and Jeffery in middle right. |
 |
| I learned Jeffery had a Jewelry and Awards manufacturing business in this building just blocks from Big Dave's shop for around 12 years, I never knew it? |
 |
| I drove by Jerffery's boy hood home that is just about a mile from Big Dave's house, brought back more memories. |
 |
| Big Dave is about to turn 92, we will come back up to wish him a Happy Birthday |
 |
| While at Big Dave's shop the air conditioning stopped cooling, a Ac repair guy came right over, turned out it was a problem at the pole and the city came out next day and corrected the issue with the three phase lines coming into the building. |

 |
| We had Austin Family dinner at Edgerock. Lucky to get together. |
 |
| I took my daughters Austin car in for service at the Hyundai dealer, they had this cool engine block glass table in the waiting room. |
