Visiting Zachie!

How fitting!  In this picture of us, I'm wearing the very Lucille's t-shirt that Zach bought me when we were eating at Lucille's together during one of his visits home (last year or the year before that) when I suggested, "Hey, Lee, wanna buy me that t-shirt for my birthday since you won't be here then?"  Hey, at least we both know that I love what I got that way! 

This is my adorable niece, Camille, outside of their place in Austin.  As much as I hate the many miles that keep us all apart, I do have to say that I like the city where they're living.  It was so much fun being with Camille this visit, as she attempted to say my name and could not attempt to be any cuter.  One fun memory was keeping her busy as Mommy and Daddy did "biz" at Floor & Decor (was that it?), a place where they currently log lots of hours.  Zach and Lorna have become very successful  house flippers and sold their first "flip" very shortly after my return home.  It was fun for me to see some of their properties and what they've done.  They both have crazy good eyes for how and where to improve things, and watching/hearing them was impressive.  They're doing this on top of Zach's normal full-time job--making this a full-time job for Lorna most of the time, it seems--but the hope is to make it more of THE (primary) deal sooner rather than later.  And why not bring that business right back home...along with their children (nephew coming soon!) and their wits about them, really?!  I'll even throw you a "Welcome Home" party, Guys!  Consider it. :)
