Northern Exposure

Thought I'd post some snapshots of my good friends from Austin, the Nestor's (who are former yanks) and the Olsky's (from the great state a Michigan) who are now honorary Texians.

Hip Check

This past weekend was the my grandma's ninety-second birthday. The fact that her b-day falls just before the fourth is usually a good excuse for family and friends to get together up at her place to celebrate both events. Luckily this year many were able to attend.





Grandma, three days and three screws later. (her surgery was last wed.)

There was of course plenty of good bbq (Scooter hard at work) and cold drinks (Sharp12 lends a hand).
Some gathered in the shady spots...







...while others relaxed by the pool.






Correct use of a bull whip...incorrect use of a bull whip.





There was entertainment on the front porch...




...plus a/c, snacks (and plenty of red birds!) indoors.







Some time on the swing for Mr. & Mrs. H.






But eventually, all roads lead home.
