We’re all settled in in Austin — well, sort of (we still have a lot of chaos at home). We arrived a couple of weeks ago and have been working hard on fixing up our apartment and all that stuff. But this past week, we got the very sad news that my grandmother LePoint passed away on Thursday. Anyone who knew her would tell you she was an absolutely incredible woman, lightyears ahead of her time, full of wisdom and humor and wit. Please take a few minutes to read this wonderful article about her life and work from the local paper in her town yesterday.
She was a career woman when most women didn’t have careers, a fierce advocate for the many causes dear to her heart, and an amazing and inspirational cook. She requested a jazz funeral, and Brian and I are looking forward to celebrating her life this weekend in Cleveland, Mississippi. When we come back, we do have a few adventures to share from the past few weeks… so please stay tuned.
