Hi everybody! I'm so glad to catch up with you all. We just got back from our friends ranch in the Hill Country. We went through Bastrop on the way down there. That's where the huge fire was.. even now it's only 95% contained. It was just horrible to see all of that devastation! There were lots of burned places near the ranch. The closest was probably 10 miles away. Everything there in just crunchy and dusty. People have been feeding their cattle hay all summer and now it is so hard to find. It is going for $160 for a big round roll!! Even the deer we saw were skinny!

We leave our camper down there so Mike will have his own pace to stay during deer season. Mark and Jan live here, but will build a house there in a few years when Mark retires. Meanwhile they have a nice cabin there. They have 200 acres that join 200 acres owned by his brother, so there is plenty of room to roam.
