I had to publish this photo of Marty returning home from dove hunting. He bagged 10 doves and was given 2 to make 12. He is responsible for cooking and eating them. Last year he did well - grilling them on skewers and serving to family. I would have never believed my husband was a hunter had you told me this 5 years ago. Life is sure different here in Helotes than it was in Austin. I love our life but do miss Austin. I have to visit Austin a few times a year to keep me grounded.
San Antonio is all abuzz with hurricane Ike fear. People are lining up at Sam's and Costco buying cases of bottled water. I say, just fill up your jugs and coolers with tap water. It's all going to be just fine. We are praying for our neighbors along the Texas coast however. It's during these times that we're glad we just rent condos at the beach and don't own any!
