A lot has happened

A lot has happened since my last post. Just some quick notes and a few pics. I will be going in reverse order. First, this past week was Spring Break!!! Took a couple of days vacation. Sally and I worked so hard! Finished painting the picket fence. This was huge. Now it is time to start the other side. Also cleaned out all of the beds in front of the house. This was a killer job and we have not yet recovered. However, we got one of those pleasant surprises from Mother Nature that we love. While we were cleaning out in front of our bedroom, we found FIVE baby red eared sliders (snapping turtles). The were so cute. Sally kept two for a classroom pet and we sent the other three toward the tank. It is amazing to me that a momma turtle laid her eggs in our bed which is at least 500 yards from Lange Lake. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

Last weekend Whitney came for a visit. She brought Ryan. We had a great time. Took them on a history tour of Washington County. Went first to the the Birthplace of Texas and the Texas museum. Next we toured A&M. Finished off the day at Independence, Texas where we got to tour the Texas Baptist Museum and go inside the Independence Baptist Church. Got to see where Sam Houston sat with his family. No doubt he sat there as he carved his initials in his pew!

Here is Sally and I in front of the giant Aggie Ring at the Association of former students. Kind of our own privat ring dance!

On Monday, I had to work but Sally and the kids continued the party. They went to La Grange and toured Monument Hill and the Krische Brewery. Then they went to the Rohan Meadery where they had a lovely visit with Wendy Rohan. Whitney really enjoyed her and Sally really enjoyed the mead!

Let's go back one more weekend. We were in San Marcos to celebrate Katie and Jessie's birthday! Great time had by all. One of the highlites was visiting the "Three Dudes Winery".

Here is a snap of Sally and all of her babies (which are sadly to say, no longer babies!). All in all it has been a very fun and bust three weeks!
