Lady Bird Johnson 1912-2007No, I never had the pleasure personally. But even if you came to Austin as politically untuned as I was 12 years ago, the Lady with the funny name could make an impression on you with the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. A riot of horticulture, this goes way beyond garden. If you're ever in Austin, visit the Lady Bird Center, and if you want a lift today, go to the web site and check it out.
Lady Bird passed away yesterday at age 94. A quick trip to the LBJ presidential museum (also here) and the first thing and the last thing you notice is the love these two people had for each other. After over 30 years of being apart, and after two richly lived lives, I'm glad they are together again.
If you thought Texas was like you see in the movies, think again. Here's a taste of why we love the Hill Country!
