It's time for an Austin DU meet up!
We can do a restaurant or my house or the home of some other DUer who is so inclined.
What say you Central Texas? Shall we wish ourselves a politically Happy New Year? :party:

2. I would so love to go
Sadly, I'm still not able to travel, due to several broken bones. I'm currently languishing between Woodlands and Conroe, Tx. Pray for me.

3. So sorry to hear you are hurting. Happy to add you to my prayer list.

We tend to party relatively often in Austin. Any excuse will do. Let us know when you are better and that will be a great excuse for a get together.
Best,
Melissa

5. Thank you!
I'll take all of the prayers I can get. I fell on 8-28 and shattered my right shoulder, and broke my right upper arm. On 10-23, I fell again, and broke my hip and upper leg. I'm getting better on using a cane, though. I'm in my mid 60's, so don't heal as fast.

I'd really, really love to be in Austin with ya'll! As it is, I'm stuck here in conservative hell. Really, prayers to change that are more important to me than my broken body! I'm getting away from the wheelchair, and trying to exercise more. Thank you so much.

6. Broken hips in your 60's are a bummer! Heal fast and come visit
We often do Sunday Brunches so you might even join us on a day trip! :toast: To your Health!

7. I'm down for something.
We haven't had brunch in a month of Sundays. Or, some other gathering works for me too.

10. The Curra's on Burnet Road was closed the day after Thanksgiving.
And it didn't look close to being ready to reopen.

15. I can make it this Sunday, but I don't know where.
Down south would be ok with me, since most of y'all live down there.

16. Well. I think Maria's has some of the Best Tacos.
We have done La Feria before. They both seem to have enough room. I love Curra's South but it is often crowded Sunday am.

Our beloved sonias may be able to make it. She has had the flu but hopes to be better by then so send her good vibes to help her heal. (((((((Sonia)))))))):grouphug:

17. I'm much more likely to come if it's a South Austin location
<whine alert>

No really, I'm really sick. So take that as a warning as well and make sure your shots are current!

Thank you Melissa. :hug:

Sonia
