How We Spent Last Week

No posts since last Monday.  I’ll claim I was too busy – and that is mostly true.

Loaded up the 5th wheel last Monday and headed for Bertram where we spent the night in my daughter’s back yard.  Picked up the grandsons on Tuesday and headed to Kerrville for the week.  It was hot as Hell, but we managed to have a great time.

The boys swam, rode their bikes, and they ran through two cartons of worms catching perch.  There may have been one of the couple dozen fish they caught that was actually big enough for the skillet, so it was strictly catch-and-release.  Directly below where Nash is standing, they also saw a turtle which they almost caught, and a snake which, thankfully, they did not.

A check on-line identified the viper as a diamond-backed water snake, and yes, it’s poisonous.

The dogs went crazy chasing squirrels at the RV park.  Did you know that a 10 lb. miniature dachshund can jerk your arm clear out of socket?  Trust me, they can.  Nash, not being on a leash, almost caught one – he actually touched it as it ran up a tree.

We also managed to slip in a little bit of culture, with a visit to the Museum of Western Art, and a play at the Point Theater.
