First, the wardrobe

We are making airline reservations, which isn't the way you do a road trip, but decided to fly a long portion of the way. We're flying to Austin and then driving to Oklahoma when the visit to Austin is done. I'm looking forward to the flight, to meeting Richard and Amber and seeing Arleen, and seeing Austin, a city everyone seems to like.

Kathy and I visited Orvis, a store that sells outdoor clothes, today. I want to be as comfortable as possible, so was looking for just the right set of clothes. I'm not a tank top and shorts kind of gal. at least not any longer. In Kuaui, I spotted a couple of women staying cool while looking cool in safari clothes, which were in contrast to my wild print blouse and horrid crop pants, especially since on that particular day I had elected to add white anklets to the black sandals. I'm afraid there's a picture of this out there somewhere and I'd pay to get it back.

At Orvis, I found safari cargo pants of a light weight and a white bug-proof blouse with flaps and flips and vents, zippers and buttons, an entire luggage set folded into one blouse. Kathy insisted I get a white t-shirt. If I can scrounge up enough hotwear in the deep recesses of my closet, I may be able to leave the Hawaii-wear home and give the Oklahomans a break (and never be blackmailed again by a picture of me as Public Dork #1).

Now if we can just get Kathy to sing that sunbeam song.
