Thanks for the selfie, Colton.

The Sistas

"TO OPEN BAG: Insert one finger from each hand in holes.  With even force, pull one hole to the right and the other hole to the left until bag starts opening."  Just like the unwritten instruction after using a dryer in a public restroom after washing hands is "Wipe hands on pants," the unwritten instruction here is "Cut bag open with knife."

Dad carves the turkey while Tom mashes potatoes.

Destry, Colton, and Kealy

Thanks, Charles, for doing most of the dishes after lunch

Rainy and chilly night!  We shut down early to watch the Astros in the World Series.

Zilker Botanical Gardens (October 30, 2017)

Met former co-worker Sarah Ramos for a walk through the Zilker Botanical Gardens.  Sarah, who retired a year ago, is finishing up the theology degree she started while still an Administrative Law Judge  Very centered and positive person to spend a morning with!

Must plant some of these at our house to attract more butterflies.


Don't know what these are but love the color.  Will show the photo to someone at a local nursery to find out.
