Well, I'm kind of depressed today. First, we're still trying to come to terms on the sale of our house. Additionally, my stepmother has sold her ranch in the Texas Hill Country.
They've been married about three years and the ranch has been a great place for the two families to get acquainted and form bonds. The open fields, stock tank, warm home and great Texas barbecue have provided a soothing salve after my mother's passing of Lou Gehrig's, cancer treatment and various other routine pressures. And of course, it's where we saw the totally awesome TCU Horned Frogs win the Rose Bowl!

It's amazing to me in this day of technology how being disconnected from the Internet, big cities and daily grind can help families reconnect. Even the kids really don't miss the Internet. OK, I admit it, there's basic cable TV, but it's kind of funny to see my kids try to TIVO or rent pay-per-view. They look at us like they've been blasted back to 1995 except that was before they were born. So, we all play board games, swim, fish, put together puzzles and climb trees. It brings back memories of being a child in the 1970s.

So, here are a few photos of the ranch. For people who think Texas isn't pretty, well, all I have to say is you haven't seen all of Texas. The Texas Hill Country, Big Bend, the Panhandle, East Texas, the Coast, and of course, weird Austin, are all places that should be seen and experienced.
Wondering if any other state is as diverse as Texas. Good talking to ya'll.
