THAT WATER LOOKS COLD!
We had a great weekend in Austin. Spent Friday using Scott's new outdoor kitchen that he built and cooking wonderful tenderloin. Saturday was devoted to yard work. With Momma Lulu as "Straw Boss", we all pitched in and reclaimed the yard from the winter and got it ready for Caroline's office party next weekend. Quote of the weekend- Cabe asked his Poppa Bob, "Why is Momma Lulu tearing up our garden?" I know it most have appeared that way to him, but when we finally finished around 5 Saturday evening, we all agreed it was well worth the effort. They are ready to plant a few annuals and put some straw or bark in their beds and they are good to go for the summer.
The family had purchased a golf cart and that is they way you get around the neighborhood. Had a great time viewing the lake houses, going to the lake, and riding the boys around in it. The field behind their house is full of wildflowers which stop just before you get to the lake. A PERFECT SETTING! You are right there in Austin, but feel like you might be on one of our local remote lakes. The BEST of both worlds.
Had a great time, but always nice to get home to Ruston! Demolition starts tomorrow on the kitchen. Will show pics as we progress! I am really excited about my new kitchen. Wonder how long this two week process will really take????

Only 2 weeks??? That is pretty good, I know people who have been MONTHS w/out kitchens. I am sooooo looking into doing an outdoor kitchen. I am very jealous. I have a huge deck but I want to put it on a platform down at the end of the steps of my deck. We actually talked about it tonight on our walk and then I saw your posting.
