Falls and Caves

On my trip to Houston, Paula, Pat and I ventured outside of the Austin area to Pedernales Falls and Sonora Caves. Here we are at the end of the falls.

Just us goofing around. I put the camera on time and literally fell on top of both of them.

Why does it always rain or snow when I go somewhere? Here's a few of the texas angus on our way to the caves.

Inside of Sonora Caves. It was warm and crystal formations were everywhere.



This cave housed one of the rarest formations found in caves...helectites. Here's a picture of a few. They are crystals that grow out sideways.

The things you'll find in Houston

A few weeks ago I went to Houston to visit old friends. By old I mean I have known them a while, not their age! One day we decided to scout the city to find some outrageous sites. It's amazing the things that people call art.


This is a giant freak armadillo made of mirrors and also sporting longhorns. Sometimes smoke comes out of the nostrils. This artist had too much time on his hands!

In front of a night club called the Horn, we found this giant saxophone made from car parts. This was more creative, but you would have to have quite a set of lungs to make any music from this.


The most intriguing piece of "ART" was the Beer Can House. This guy literally drank all this beer and covered the outside and backyard of his house with beer cans!!!!!!!! This man too much time and wayyyyyyyyyyy to much beer. Needless to say, he died fairly young. I must say it was creative for doing his part to recycle!



Crae's Engaged!!!!

Well, after 30 years of bachelorhood, Crae has finally decided to tie the knot. The beauty that won his heart is Lachelle Jacobsen. They have set the date of May 1 in a small ceremony of family and close friends. We are excited for them both!!
