After a work trip to Dallas, I went to Austin on Friday evening and had a great, relaxing weekend. Dale's parents, Joyce and Brian were there. It has been really fortunate that, especially given the long distances, we have gotten to know them as friends and not just as the "parents of our son-in-law". Joyce, as before, brought aniseed balls for Pat which I delivered and which, as before, he was quite pleased to have. Jonathan was wonderful - he's so funny and curious and so easy to be with and has a great sense of humor - hats off to Eliz and Dale. All of Elizabeth's hard work in the yard & garden was evident and sitting on the deck on Sunday was lovely. The goldfinches and Carolina wrens provided watching pleasure. Saturday, Rita, Jennifer and Stepan came over for supper - a really, fun evening. The pasta was good and the homemade ice cream delicious.

Pat...Are you planning on sharing your anise-seed balls, or are they all gone??

Well, I would have said anise-seed balls. They are a licorice-flavored hard candy, similar to what we called "jawbreakers" in grade school. I eat them.

What are "aniseed balls" and what, pray tell, does Pat do with them?
