Escape from the house for a bit has us walking at White Rock Lake. As we are driving up to the location we normally park, I spot one of the eagles in a tree. This is an unusual sighting for us, so we head over to take a couple of pictures, if possible. No special camera equipment along today - just my phone.

Ahhhh - it's another great morning in our little cabin in the woods. Loving this break so much. Tea and birds again, but a lot chillier today. The sun is struggling to be out.

Austin Getaway - Just Us Two - Day 1
Guess what? Mister surprised me with a small trip down to the Hill Country for a few days. This is so nice. He has rented a cute little cabin and we are just going to put the world out of mind for a bit. Perfect timing.
12/13 - Our first stop this morning is at the Waco Mammoth National Monument. I had no idea this place even existed and am super excited to check it out. We've got tickets in hand and are heading down the path.

Bermuda Trip - Day 7 - Bermuda Day 3
It is our last day in Bermuda and we have chosen to explore the area around King's Wharf and the Royal Navy Dockyard. A unique place I read about is Glass Beach. It is within walking distance, but kind of hidden and neither of us really is feeling top notch. Yep, getting sick - so sad. We still have our scooter and it takes us there in less than 10 minutes. Check this out - so cool. Once you "think" you are on the right path, these little signs help a bit.

Good Morning! It's a bit stiff and sore around here today due to yesterdays snafu, but we are raring to go and explore some more. As we leave the ship, our guy sees us off.

Ducks and a Gorgeous Sunset at White Rock Lake
It is time to get out of the house. A trip down to White Rock Lake always calms the soul and allows nature to permeate and relax us. As we approach the Pelican viewing point, a Mama Duck and her little ducklings catch our eye. Do you see them?

Still Birthday Season
My birthday weekend continues. Today Mister has started out with a brand new coffee/pastry shop and it is sooooo yummy. I guess calling it a bakery is more apt and they are working to enlarge their offerings.

A Weekend in the Life With Rain
There are just some times when ya gotta get out no matter what. We are having rain, rain, and more rain, but every so often it lets up enough to make a dash someplace. This morning we are off to breakfast at a new-to-us coffee shop, Middle Ground. We spotted it last night while at dinner in the same shopping center and want to check it out. Along the way - ya just never know what you will encounter.
