Half Grape and half Vanilla. Kawaii Shaved Ice to the rescue.

Just Another Texas Sunset
I went walking at Lake Georgetown and caught this beautiful scene!
Pancakes and Art
Pancakes (and Migas) for dinner! Kerbey Lane Cafe has the best pancakes. I picked the chocolate chip pancakes this evening. As a bonus, I got to enjoy the art by Linda Jacobson. Some day I will need to check out her Gallery in Wimberly, Texas.
Hawaiian Falls II
I am back at Hawaiian Falls again for another Friday Night Slides. The park is open until 10:00 pm, and the sunsets are fierce as viewed from the top of the water slide tower.
East Jordan Iron Works
The days in Round Rock have gotten so hot that even the neighborhood kids are staying inside instead of swimming. At around 4:00 pm today, I headed for the pool. I looked both ways, crossed the street, and trekked across this awesome manhole cover from East Jordan Iron Works – “the world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of manhole covers,” among other things. Pretty impressive, huh?
Southpaw
This movie will give you cause to consider your relationship with your father. Oh, and Rita Ora makes an appearance.
Periscope Couch Mode
Note – First time ever to draw on the iPad. My art skillz are the greatest! 🙂
For my internet friends who love Periscope, they have a secret called Couch Mode. It is meant to be used on a desktop computer without access to the Periscope App. You launch this mode in your browser (www.periscope.tv/couchmode), and then you can flick through a random feed of Periscope streams. Totally fun, and you have no idea what stream will be next. Be careful, as this is the internet after all. I hope you enjoy it!
Michoacana Natural Ice Cream
I have been looking for different ways to beat the heat in Austin, and today I totally scored. Michoacana Natural Ice Cream is located in a rather awkward shopping center in North Austin, but it is definitely worth the trip. They have all different kinds of ice cream and frozen bars and aguas frescas and other treats. When I finished my scoops of Mexican Vanilla (yummy and orange in color) and Coffee with Almonds and Chocolate, I noticed that there was an option for Tequila ice cream. Why didn’t I see that before? Probably because I was too busy snapping photos of the joint. Reminder to self – order the tequila ice cream on your next visit. 🙂
Arboretum Duck Pond
It is still too hot in Austin for much hiking, so I took a walk around the Arboretum duck pond and then climbed the hill to visit the Barnes and Noble book store.
Stiles Switch BBQ
Tonight’s dinner was consumed at the award winning Stiles Switch BBQ. Nothin’ fancy, just some great Texas BBQ. I enjoyed the moist brisket, turkey breast, mac n cheese, corn casserole, and iced tea. This is a nice casual place on Lamar Blvd. in North Austin, so come and check it out.
