short shorts, dinosaurs and floor scrubbing action
we attended yet another fun filled yelp elite party at ray benson's rattle inn.
BANG BANG!... you got me.
I asked a friend his opinion of the beer, "one is really hoppy and the other is a bit too yeasty". I went inside and asked for one of each, combined them in one glass and started a new trend. everybody started going in and asking for one of each along with an empty glass. the southern star brew was good and always glad to find a can option for boating and river fun times when glass bottles are unwelcome.
pretty yelp elite cowgirls insured a fun evening.
Z tequila offered delicious paloma and a few other cocktails.
short shorts and a pair of pistols.
I did chaperone another preschool field trip. way out near bastrop, behind a mobile home park, somebody had the idea to carve a path in the woods and plop life size fiberglass dinosaurs and charge $5 a head.
he still won't cooperate for a picture. the statue mode is my only hope to get him to stand still for the camera.
he holds his hands out like that when he is a statue.... ok.
I made it back to wimberley to replace the missing section of siding. with a bit of patchwork I did it with just one sheet. I trimmed the window with pieces I removed from the big house that will be torn down. I need to replace the front door, trim it, caulk paint and then it'll start to look finished.
treated ourselves to another great meal at haddington's. they make their own tonic water there, quinine bark in a pressure cooker or something like that. the tonic ends up looking brown/reddish. kat really enjoyed the house made pork cracklin' and we really loved that duck meatloaf with blueberry reduction. scallops (below) were good too.
a year’s worth of home maintenance and cleaning crammed into ten days...
the home and I are supposed to be reality tv show ready in ten days time. I have an impossible list of things to be done. stripping the old floor finish puts me in a bad mood. and none if it helps with kat's disposition either. she hates this sort of stress, especially when so much of the house is disassembled in mid cleaning and project phase.
I finally finished installing glass tile around the outdoor shower. I realized I left my tile float down in wimberley, so I made my own. the one on the right worked so well I didn't try that thing on the left. left over rubber from the roofer, two screws and a scrap of wood.
had some friends over for dinner and wine in the screen room (indoor dining table is non-op due to floor project). kat was all worn out from stress and cleaning. she laid down to rest a minute and never woke up, slept through dinner and all. I made a soup of cauliflower, leek and cashew and drizzled a carrot and ginger juice and cayenne sauce over the top. it looked like mashed potatoes with buffalo wing sauce... everybody seemed to enjoy it (kat ate hers the next day)
