Bexar County Courthouse, San Antonio, TX

Had a wonderful time in San Antonio and Del Rio, Texas. Lots of family time, and not too hot yet. Spent tow nights and one full day in San Antonio, and moved on to Del Rio! Much fun was had shopping, eating, and even enjoying a boat ride on the San Antonio River Walk.

Early Yosemite - Coyotes, Snowshoeing, and Ravens

We arrived after dark and had to muck about in the and drenched, icy, muddy goodness that is Curry Village. The "heated" tent cabin provided little in the way of actual heat. You can only keep a canvas-sided, drafty, well-vented tent cabin so warm. Thankfully, we brought goose down sleeping bags that kept us toasty.



Saturday was all about the snowshoeing and coyote tracks!

'Twas indeed a coyote-ful weekend. We saw two coyotes on the way in to the valley, and several tracks on our snowshoeing adventure.

We even got to break trail in several places:

Saturday's walking about included sighting a Raven:

Saturday night and Sunday (all day) we had rain, rain, and more rain. The mist and fog made for a beautiful and amazing Yosemite as we drove around the valley:




One last stop to take in the Merced river.

And more Ravens!


Wonderfully amazing weekend in Yosemite.

New Windows - :-D

Cleared out everything in the living room last night to make way for the window installation. After a cold-ish Winter (for Souther So-Cal), we will have nice new heat keeping in (Winter) and keeping out (Summer) windows!

An almost empty living room:


Room with one window and one hole in the wall:


Windows installed, but not finished (so close):


Living room windows will be finished today, and then the kitchen windows will follow tomorrow. :-)

And the windows finished on the inside!

And finished windows on the outside:
