It Rained......... a lot....

I have lots I could say about the flooding in Texas right now.

Our hearts are broken over Wimberley.

If you've read my blog awhile, you know that my family

vacations there a lot.  We were last there in May of 2014.

We love Wimberley and the ankle deep Blanco River.

So sad.

These two pictures are of the golf course behind my house this morning.

It always gets some run off from the San Jacinto River when it floods.

There is a reason my neighborhood is built up above the golf course.

It's at least a five foot drop down my back fence to the course.

I now have egrets, etc. for my viewing pleasure.

And at night........ the frogs sing like I've never heard.

I think a million came in with the water!

It's definitely a swamp experience!

Pray for the flood victims!

The River

Last week was spent on the Frio River in Texas.....

Our son and his wife....

 My husband and our son....

All of these shots were taken at Garner State Park.... beautiful place.....

 The following pictures were taken at the house we rented on the river....

 .....soooo many pecan trees........

 looking across the street...

 ..looking back toward the ranch house we stayed in........

 Kept the granddog on the leash when I was out alone with him...
didn't want to have to deal with him chasing off after the deer...

 and he and the cows across the road enjoyed one another...
I think they thought he was a funny looking cow and he certainly did think
he wanted to join their herd....

 DH fished for HOURS off the back patio area.......

Nice to get away..........
but good to be home!

Relax

Spent almost 5 full days in Wimberley, Texas relaxing....

Wonderful Wimberley Shops!

Wimberley Square! Great shop called Brocante! All of these inside shots are there... well, below are a few things I bought... now at home getting their picture made...

Here is the front of Brocante. This shop could have a booth at Silver Bella on

Vendor Night. I even asked who the owner was...thinking THIS has

to be owned by a Bella. But, don't think so....

..and, yes, I asked if I could take pictures inside....

they said yes, everyone does!

Back to inside.... I bought the little box with the bird on top!

Meanwhile...outside it was HOT!

The family settled in at a local watering hole called Inoz while I shopped.

So I had no pressure to hurry!

It was great!

Winding Down in Wimberley

I'm back. Wanted to put up a few shots to let you know I have returned!
