OK, after an evening of sketching and sampling, it is possible that my intrepid armadillo sidekick will come from a toy store, rather than my sewing machine. Which is a shame, because I have the perfect buttons for eyes. If he is ready-made I suppose I can still make him accessories. I almost wish I’d gone with a giraffe – I’m pretty good at giraffes. They just don’t seem as “Texas-y,” somehow. Luckily my senior travel mascot, Nuts the Adventurous Squirrel, is available in case of emergencies. He was planning to tag along to advise the armadillo in any case.
Meanwhile, there is a wonderful Central Texas phenomenon known as “cedar fever” which is currently rendering all things delightful. It’s very similar to hay fever with the addition of migraines and a general lack of spring in one’s step. Luckily I have plenty of allergy medicine, so the March on Georgetown should take place as planned tomorrow.
... And I Will Go to Texas!
