escape from austinmodhouse
my son left the front door open to the screen room. this saturday the dogs escaped and were missing for hours. we finally got a call from neighbor Earl that they were at his new house. they were muddy and Marvin (the boston terrier) had scratches all over him.
kat used the outdoor dogwash to get them all cleaned up

mom primed and painted all the stair and inside balcony railing. kat loves the aluminum colored rustoleum.
mom has worked very hard while she's been here. I couldn't let her work on her last day before heading back to her california wine country home. so we had a picnic and swim down at the barton creek green belt. it's great to be so close. eichler (the boxer) went swimming with us. I hear boxers are not good swimmers. nobody told eichler.
my son calls this "green belt island". we usually go to red bud island when we want to get in the water; also very near our new house
mom and eichler
the setting seems so remote. yet we are near downtown. the occasional tuber or kayaker passed by our swim and picnic location.
took mom out to FINO for her last meal here. she developed a taste for mexican martinis on this trip. I think we'll definitely be going back to FINO. it reminded us of our favorite restaurant back in santa cruz; SOIF. we used to love to go there for a glass of wine, cheese plate and their adventurous desserts.
I caught my son trying to insert the olive spear into his ear. I explained how you never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear. he tried to get his elbow in there.
