Happy Mother's Day 2010! What's the point in keeping a blog going if I don't occasionally publicly write sweet notes to my Beloved? Today we celebrate Christy and the Mom's in our lives. I like to think we celebrate them everyday, but it's not so bad to have a special day set aside just for them.

Last summer in Austin, Texas we broke a 155 year old record for averaging 88.4 degrees during the meteorological summer from June - August, and while I don't recall the exact number of days above 100 degrees, I do remember that the record of 69 was in jeopardy towards the end. Lake Travis looked ... well not much like a lake. At the end of the summer it was down to 630 feet and almost all entrances were closed. Flash forward to today, the lake is up to 675 feet, or 5 feet below full, and it's SNOWING in Austin. Thanks to the El Nino weather pattern, we are experiencing a wetter and cooler winter than normal here in Central Texas, and since we don't get snow often, why not enjoy it?!?!

Readers be warned - I went deer hunting this weekend and will proceed to tell tall tales of my expert marksmanship, super human tracking skills, and all around manliness. No, not really, but if you're not a fan of hunting - you may not want to read on, so I thought I'd be nice and at least give you a heads up. First off, this was a really fun opportunity to get outside of Austin with some good guys and have some fellowship. We made a quick trip up to Matt's father-in-law's place in Bertram. Scott and MattR are both experienced hunters, while MattD and I are novices.

Relevant, but not timely (can't believe it's been 6 months since the trip) - that's an appropriate expectation to set for this final post on our RV experience. My last post described our adventure's soaring in Durango. We left Durango and made our last planned stop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The drive down was a picturesque transition of mountainous terrain to a desert scape with views for miles. |

The summer drought on the blog has officially come to an END! Our friend, Chris Reichman, was over this week for a family photo shoot in the backyard. Chris is a gifted photographer, and we've enjoyed knowing he and Erin for several years now. Chris launched a redesigned website recently. Check it our HERE. A sample of our photos are posted on his blog. Thanks Chris and Erin! The pictures are great. Yes, I even shed a few tears... |
