Howd-ee Y’all
I traveled through New Braunfels today and made a pit stop at Buc-ee’s for some gas and a Dr. Pepper Slushee. I also found it necessary to squish a shiny penny. 🙂
Gristmill
Just beneath the water tower in Gruene and under the blazing Texas Summer sun, you will find one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The Gristmill restaurant overlooks the Guadalupe River and serves up typical Texas favorites like the Chicken Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes that I had for lunch. It was great!
Gruene Hall
I stopped in at Gruene Hall this afternoon before lunch to grab a beer and listen to some music. There is a lot of history to be discovered in this place.
San Marcos River
The San Marcos River is one of the best places for swimming. The water is cool, clear and welcoming. Sewell Park is always filled with fun people who like to soak up the sun, jump in, swim, and float. The river begins just north of where these photos were taken – at the San Marcos Springs or Aquarena Springs. Definitely go for a swim if you find yourself nearby.
Ant-Man
When Ant-Man is little bitty, this movie is pretty cool.

Sunny
As an experiment in Texas Summer heat, the air conditioner decided to break for a few days. Just in time for a forecast of “it’s going to be hot out there”. In case you are wondering, the indoor temperature range will vary from 82 degrees as a low to 88 degrees as a high, with more time spent on the 88 degree side of things. This does not make for a pleasant experience while relaxing at home, but does provide free sauna treatments for all.
Three Black Butterflies
It turns out that I am an Origami Master. Those three beautiful black butterflies were all created by me. Give it a try and test your skills with a square sheet of paper. The event today was called the 1,000 Cranes Origami Festival. It was a great idea for an event, and the Asian American Resource Center was packed with other skilled Origami Artists working their magic.
Ney Day
Today in Austin there was a festival to celebrate Elizabet Ney – “Ney Day”. There were artists, live music, fruit slushes, and tours of the Elizabet Ney Museum. The 100 degree heat made it tough for a festival, but everyone still had fun.
Hiking with Fish
I have returned to my new favorite pastime for beating the afternoon Summer heat in Austin. Yes, hiking in another section of Bull Creek. The water is clear and cool and typically no more than waist deep. However, there are a few swimming holes to enjoy if you like. The fish are both curious and friendly too. 🙂
