Around the Lake

January 23, 2022 The Spaceship Car is still not back from the shop. They are waiting on one critical part for which shipment has been repeatedly delayed. Hopefully they will be finished soon, but we are not holding our breath. This weekend had been busy, but we thought it might be good to get out… Continue reading Around the Lake

Retracing Our Steps

January 17, 2022 Rumor has it that the Spaceship Car might be coming home this week!

Below is a sample image of a sunset taken at Matagorda Beach. Click the image to see the larger version. The images for all of the posts to… Continue reading The Big Picture(s)

Oh, Deer!

December 7, 2021 We are OK. Our Honda CR-V, the Spaceship Car, is not. Before I go any further, I feel the need to get a few facts out of the way. First, I do not like hunting. I have nothing against it–I just take Ron White’s attitude toward it: “It’s dark, it’s cold, and… Continue reading Oh, Deer!
