Lots of Random Stuff

Lots of pictures from our last few weeks...
Vin and Mommy with mustaches.
Backyard before it got a haircut:
we've hated these two cedar trees from day one. Teri finally broke me down and I agreed to let us get rid of them. She hired a crew off the street - literally - and the trees were gone within 5 hours. Teri counted the rings and they were 66 years old. Kind of sad but they shaded our garden and didn't let anything grow underneath. Good riddance!

After the cutting:
The backyard has a ton of light and room now.
Fighting Nature: You win some and lose some but I lost BIG with the poison ivy. The damn stuff is everywhere in my front flowerbeds but I didn't know it since it was mid-March and not yet bloomed out. The Dr. described my legs as covered in lesions.

Castell Texas

A few weeks back we went to Llano and Grumpy and Mayme took us to this little bbq place in Castell Texas. They have an outdoor pit, picnic tables, cold beer, bar games and a pet rooster. Apparently this is not the original rooster who was famous for "having his way" with a stuffed bass fish. Youtube clip here.

Aunt Tara

Since she lives so close now we get to see her a lot! Vin obviously has lots of fun with her and helped her open her birthday presents last night.
