A Weekend Far From the Things of Man (well most of them anyway...)

My sister and I took the kids and headed up to the Hill Country for the weekend. We spent our time in a lovely guest house near Leakey. Creekside Guest House is our new home away from home.

The plan was for Laura to get together with painting pals and craft their little hearts out while the kids and I wreaked havoc on the local landscape. We all had a wonderful time. Only one scorpion and it was bravely running away from my perfectly presentable camp fire. It was removed from the equation - the four year old didn't need to discover it later (and we had no idea where the nearest hospital was...)

Deer, ladderback woodpeckers, stars. A hot tub that would probably fit twice as many as we brought and a gloriously modern kitchen. The last time we stayed in a "cabin" in Leakey the roof leaked on our beds...this way a huge step up.

I'd love (considering the current state of the economy in general - much less to mention mine...) to be able to get back here later in the year. It's not far from Lost Maples and Garner State Park...glorious places to be in the fall.

Golly, that didn't take long

The first rule of blogging - isn't it...never abandon your post. (hah!)
But first things first.
I'm sure I've missed others, but the last I remember was Sarah's tag and she had rules...

here's the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Six random things...

1. I like Heinz Ketchup on my Macaroni and Cheese.
2. I don't ride a bicycle very well at all - it's a concentration thing, I try to see in too many different directions and lose my balance or forget to pedal.
3. I'm not conflicted about who to vote for, and the mysterious vice-presidential choices probably won't sway my decision.
4. I love scrabble, but play by different rules than most.
5. I prefer black and white to color in pictures and film.
6. I wish I had the time and energy for a puppy.

There, now I feel better. I could tag Alita, but I know she's already fulfilled this particular request. I'll try and think of someone else I can harass with this and grant them a new quest.

I wrote the passwords and the account numbers down, so that I will no longer be foiled by denied access.
