Occupiers of Our Time

So, there are lots of things that have been occupying our time  during the summer and recently.
We were in the July art show in Rockport:

Then we took a quick trip to Tampa, FL to visit friends, see some boats and relax.

 

We also "Stood with Wendy" on the steps of the TX capitol.

 

 

The biggest and best "occupier" of our summer time was these guys:

 

 

Yes, both daughters, both sons-in-law and all five grandkids were here for a little over two weeks!

 

Finally, just last weekend, Philip and I participated in the AIM at Melanoma fundraising Walk in Houston at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. It was a night walk that raised over $75,000.

 

 

So.... that's a recap of what we have been up to. Next, I will catch up on what has been going on with HEY JUDE.

 

Short Updates

So, here is just one of many things that has been going on since I last posted.
The poor Lake Travis is getting smaller and smaller. Poor Starnes Island is taller and closer than ever before.

 

Last weekend, was clean up of the lake. At the Travis Lake Marina, a nice group of citizens were there to pick up trash. Plus boats brought  trash from other places on the lake and put it into dumpsters that were brought in just for the day.

 BTW, normally in a wet year, all of that land behind those people at the ramp would be under water.
