Our Executive Director showed a lot of love and appreciation to the staff by washing their cars. Now that's dedication! He worked all day handwashing cars while our Dining Director jumped in the fun and grilled up hamburgers and hot dogs for those folks when they dropped off or came to pick up their clean, shiny cars. God felt like they needed one extra rinse so at the end of it all, a big beautiful down pour of rain came then out came the sun and dried them all off. Talk about everyone getting in on the fun!!!! Thank you, Alex, thank you, Lisa, and thank you, God. 😃

After a rainy July, we finally had the opportunity to go out and clean the garden. The weather in Austin has turned very hot with the arrival of August, the hottest month of the year. It looks like our amazing crop of tomatoes is just about done. We decided to give the few stalks that are still going strong a little more time. It really is time to pull these up and prepare the soil for fall planting, but the rain and milder temperatures have some of our plants ready to burst with one last hoorah of cherry tomatoes and heirlooms. It looks like some flowers are holding on as well. So they all get one more week, and we'll see how things are then. Stand by for further updates...

Our day trip to beautiful San Marcos, TX couldn't have been better. Home to the Texas State Bobcats, San Marcos has a gorgeous river that the locals enjoy. We had a fun time watching folks float down to the main lagoon and some taking advantage of the "Tube shoot" waterfall. The lush greenery of the San Marcos River is breathtaking! Ivar's River Pub has a deck where we were able to sit and have a front-row view of the magic and splendor of that beautiful river. Good friends! Good times... Always!
