The Boys on the walk

Photomerge of mtns to the east.
Gives and idea of what the neighborhood is like

The house today with mtns.

Bob's house with mtns. Ours is just behind
and to the right. Fremont Lake sits in that
"hole" about in the center of the picture.

EVENING UPDATE with pictures: Bonnie came over after lunch and we took a walk about the loop road, maybe went a mile and a half. The sun even felt warm for a little bit without a wind blowing. Dogs sure enjoyed it. We ran into the neighbor family walking their two schnauzers - So the dogs got acquainted. He is Bob, the one who lent Curtis a bunch of tools when he was here building the fence. They are from Houston, their first winter.

Bonnie brought me a homeopathic potion – angelica in a lotion – to rub on my feet, it’s supposed to help you sleep so I'll try it and we will see if that works …. Or not. They had to dig a new well and it’s got bacteria in it, and they are trying to get rid of it. So they can’t drink the water. I feel bad for that happening. She has some kind of distiller she is using for their drinking water that takes everything out. We’re invited over there for lunch tomorrow, and Joe and Craig will go on out and feed the cats. After Bonnie left I mopped the wood floors.

This picture of today's jet stream was sent by Betty. Neither of us has ever seen the jet stream go this high north and dip this far south (at the same time). So this is why the weather is the way it is now.

Venus is sure making a spectacular statement in the western sky after dusk. It's very beautiful. Guess that's why they named it Venus. The weather here was quite cloudy this morning clearing off by noon. We were forecasted to have frost and freezing fog for several days, but haven't seen any yet. Maybe a dog walking day.

Been watching TCM old movies lately. Need to get motivated to do something constructive. I got out my stack of papers to finish the house notebook project. Its going to be another quiet day though. So nothing interesting to write about - yet.

Judy has some really neat pictures on her blog illustrating their visit to San Antonio. They've been visiting the old missions there. I knew about the Alamo, but she says there are five of them in the city. A link to her blog is up on the sidebar.

A strange thing has been happening for a while, I keep "forgetting" to take my camera with me everywhere. Don't know why. I ALWAYS used to have it next to me. So I'm not getting much new material to post on the blog. I'll try to do better.

A cute video about the Truckin Duck:
