We're Back and some photos of our first day in Leakey, Texas!



Ahhh it is so nice to be home...well maybe....the heat and humidity doesn't feel to good!!




Tuesday, on our way to Leaky, we stopped off in Bandera Texas for some shopping...


Fred had to try on hats, LMBO!!
I honestly think he should have bought it!! It just suits him to a "T"!!!!
This was the road between Vanderpool and Leakey, isn't it SWEET!!



Posing for a photo in the backyard of the house/cabin where we stayed!


Grammy and Michael playing games!

This was the stairs to the Frio River from the back yard. Mom counted the steps...56 of them!! I felt every one of them too!! That is Fred at the top taking in the view!


One of the sunfish we caught and that is about all we caught...Not a good week for fishing!!




Okay...We had a little incident upon our arrival!




While we were all checking out the Frio River...




Fred and I heard a YELP, Branch BREAK and KERPLUNK!!




We turned around and Grammy decided to get a head start on the swimming!!




Yep She fell in the River....UH OH!!




Fred went to her rescue and I tried to record the incident on camera...


that is once I saw she was okay...


I was LAUGHING so hard I was having problems holding the camera!!




So I've decided Grammy's new nickname is "KERPLUNK"!!




She just couldn't wait to get in and try out the water...Sigh!!






A drowned RAT!!
Yep Grammy we all had a great laugh! Thanks!
And NO I don't want to join you for a wet t-shirt contest!!!
We had some beautiful weather while we were there and the views (as always) were spectacular....I took over 1,000 photos, Yikes!!
So be prepared as the photos above were just a few of the first day/afternoon-evening!!
There will definitely be more to follow...
We're home safe and sound and a bit wore out!!

What I saw outside this evening...

As I looked out my computer room window I saw the deer out in front of the house and decided I would take the camera outside and see what I could come up with...


Julie in foreground and doe with last years fawn...
The deer are looking really scruffy, shedding their winter coats!

One of the other does getting ready to bolt...

Ralph...
he was on my truck and I was NOT too happy with him!!
I honestly don't think he cares either....

Michael decided he wanted to play with bubbles...
He thinks he knows what he is doing....making a mess!

Blowing bubbles!
Thank goodness I had a filter on the front of my lens as he got the camera again...sigh!!
I'm going to retire from taking photos of bubble blowing boys!!
We did absolutely nothing today...a very lazy day!!





Michael's class photo 2008-2009 (digital layout)

I've had Michael's class photo for a couple of weeks and thought it was time to put it into a layout and share it...I had Michael sign his name and then I scanned it and added it to the digital layout to make it a bit more personal. I also had him tell me who each of his classmates were so in later years we would know who was who...I thought it turned out pretty sweet!
(I used a digital kit called School is cool from Oscraps.com)
