Kids in Austin

I will share a couple of photos today from the weekend in Austin, before I get off on other things.

This is among the many activities Nancy had with the kids. They both like computer stuff!!


Arrion fixed Kaylee's hair in a pony-tail! Cute!


It was another very good day! ;-)

Made it home from Longview on Tuesday

Good trip back through the Ouachita National Forest.

It was a good day! ;-)

Hello - Longview, Texas

Spending the night in Longview,Texas, enroute back home from Austin. Left mid-afternoon, up US 79... good route, but more traffic today than on Saturday, going down. Here, we are on US 259, ready to head north through eastern OK to Fort Smith, to try out that road. "Arkansas Scenic Byway" in western AR from Fort Smith to Texarkana took an hour more than it should have, for the distance.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Farther to Austin

It definitely is farther to Austin from Hollister than from Emporia. On Saturday, I took the more rural route - a long day. Now believe I can cut of an hour using an alternate route. We would like to avoid both Dallas and Fort Worth. US 79 through East Texas directly into Austin is very good. Getting from Ft. Smith, AR, to US 79 is the next step. Perhaps we'll try the other way, using US 259 through eastern OK coming back. Think we will leave on Tuesday, perhaps stay overnight in Fort Smith. Do some sight-seeing along the way.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Family Photo on Aug 8

This is almost an action photo, but Kaylee did stop wiggling for a second and Alex is pretty good. This particular view is cropped from one Jolene took (THANKS!), of all of us, after a long day.

As always, you can click on the photo to see the larger image. Feel free to copy, if you wish, and desire your own copy.

It was a very good day! ;-)

On the Back Deck

This first photo of Kaylee, my 21-month old grand-daughter, inspired this writing on the deck. What can you say? Just a neat shot!


It also gives a nice view of Rex's new addition to his deck, next door, and on down the line. So, I've added this one of Arrion grilling, to see the line of decks going south, as well, to get the full view. This was a couple of days ago... just downloaded the photos.


I'll be off to Austin on Saturday. Nancy went with Arrion, Alex and Kaylee on Thursday.

It was a very good day! ;-)

More from Anniversary Celebration

The two photos today (both happen to come from Arrion's camera, thank you!) highlight some of the benefits of having the celebration that we had.

The first is the members of the wedding party that were present (Carolyn, Barry, Al, Joel and Bob, plus Nancy and Bill, of course):


The second has the six Bolger siblings who were all here (Janice, Al, and Carolyn from Iowa; Bob from Louisiana; and Joel from Alaska). Neat!


It was another very good day! ;-)
