There's only two things that money can't buy

And one of them's growing in our backyard.  I obviously haven't taken the edger to the backyard in a while.

P.S. For the confused, the Post title is from a Guy Clark song

What are the Windlers up to today?

Who knows.  You'll find out in three weeks.

What'd we do three weeks ago?  We went to Rockport, TX with some playgroup friends for Memorial Day.  It was a blast, especially for us Dads who don't get to interact with the other little guys like the Moms do.

If you're going to drive to the coast, you have to stop in Lockhart or Luling.  The only thing open at 9:30am was City Market in Luling.  So I ate lunch then.  Ribs for me and white bread and brisket for Simon.

Once in Rockport we took the boat out.  I don't think any of the guys were pleased to be wearing life jackets.

The fishing trip the next day started out so promising.  Mark caught a shark right off the bat, and then nothing for the rest of the trip.  The sea came out even with Mark that day since it took his sunglasses.

The rest of the trip was spent lounging around the pool and yard of Dax's parents.


Aint nothing finer than a spray bottle and looking for critters in the pool skimmer...

... except maybe snacks.

Simon peeks out from his house.  "No solicitors!"

Before we left we hit the beach one last time.
