Parting shots of Miss Ellie

Our next door neighbor is such a kind, sweet woman in her mid eighties from the other side of Mexico. In spite many health problems, she loves to tend to her garden and care for her home. One of her few complaints is that she had four sons and no daughters or granddaughters. So she was thrilled to meet Adrienne and Miss Ellie.



We have some definite favorite tee shirts in our family. There are tee shirts from the girls' high school swim team, there are the shirts from Texas A&M, CU, CSU, SMU Law and from Adrienne's wedding in Greece. One of our favorites is this one from the Austin Fire Department that Jamie B. gave Alex. As with so many outfits, two year old Alex handed this one down to Ellie. It goes nicely with the purse Ellie loves to carry around the house.

There certainly was a big hole left when the Hirst family went home to Texas. But now we are excited to show Alex and her Daddy, Eric, the island this week. Jamie, we're sure, will feel as Adrienne did, she's coming back to a familiar, comfortable island home.
