Le Canard en Caoutchouc and other things...

Hello Dear Folks,
        I just found some other photos of Matagorda on my camera that somehow didn't make it onto my computer, so here are a few more.  I do love black and white.

        It has been a busy but good weekend with many things being crossed out on my to-do list.  Yesterday I had a burst of energy from somewhere, probably my coffee cup, and got a ton of schoolwork done in advance.  I now have all essays written that will be due this week (3) with the exception of two very small 2-3 sentence things for sociology, and completed all of the assignments and readings for Monday and Tuesday.  That means that tomorrow I can do all of Wednesday's work and so forth.  I do love knowing that I don't have to stay up late or get up early before class to cram something in.  I didn't quite get around to the laundry, but my room is enjoying a bit of organized cleanliness for the first time in a while.  
I have been digging through my boxes of photos up here looking for pictures of mon canard en caoutchouc (rubber-ducky) Rodi, because he is going to be my presentation topic in conversation class.  I figure it is just odd enough to be interesting but relatable enough to spark a conversation, we shall see.  
Also, Mom, I know from my phone history that I talked to you the other morning, and I vaguely remember my phone going off.  But, I have absolutely no idea why you called or what we talked about, so I hope my pretty much asleep self was coherent and not too weird; as if that would be a change from the norm :)  
Well, I must get to bed. 
I love yall much.
DDL

Retrospection on Matagorda

         I know it's been a bit since we were in Matagorda, but I figured that in the name of peregrinating, it would be fitting to record it on the blog.  It truly was a great vacation, and I can't imagine it going any better.  Thinking back, even the wind and the cold was enjoyable.

Oh, to be back at the Stanley House...

Thanks again folks!
