Helen,

I'm so glad it got there in time! The Dave Lieber book is an interesting introduction to moving to Texas--he's from New York City via Philadelphia, so you'll see the trials and errors of getting acclimated to Texas and Texans (I'm still working on it!) The other one is a collection of radio essays that many of us heard over the years on All Things Considered here in the U.S.. Bailey White is from Georgia, quite a distance from Texas, but they're such funny and sweet stories, particularly good for reading out loud.

The CD is still pretty rough, not polished since it was first made a couple of years ago right before the first computer I was working on was stolen. I have to get back to those recording projects. That may not play in an automobile CD player, for some reason, but I have good luck in the house in various other players.

Enjoy!
