We're sure looking forward to seeing you guys again. Mr. basil and I plann to arrive on Tues and leave on Sat. I'm working on some other Texans to join us there.

It'll be terrific to see you and "Mr. Basil" again. I know what I'll be wearing on the parade route (very warm clothing - but still holding out hope for warm, dry weather), but I've got to get moving on what to wear for the Ball, if I'm going to make a gown. I found a few patterns for true ball gowns; now I need to price fabric. It may cost as much to make one as to buy one.

I'm buying my daughter and her best friend Ball tickets - early high school graduation gifts. (They already have ball gowns)

See you in 59 days!
