New research on Masada tells a very different story. Even Israeli soldiers aren't sworn in there any more. Hmmmmm

Arrived at hotel near JFK. Lousy weather prohibits our going into the city tonight. Having dinner at our hotel.

Leaving for JFK this morning.

Springtime

The wet winter has had the wonderful effect of filling our fields and meadows with some of the most colorful wildflowers we have seen in many years. Above, bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush.


Here's a picture down the street after a rain storm had passed. That's Comanche Peak in the background.


Katie loves to walk in the flowers and smell their perfume. It must be as great an olfactory feast to dogs at it is a feast to our eyes.

Caroline at Natural Bridge

Good Shepherd ECW Friendship Tea

I've finally finished the video of the tea Julie arranged for the church's women. It was a lot of work and she did a terrific job.

Bluff Dale Bridge

This weekend went to a Bluff Dale where we have discovered several favorite new things, among them the oldest suspension bridge in Texas.


Originally built in 1891, it spans the Paluxy River about a mile and a half upstream from its original location.


It's hard to imagine this was the bridge on the main road (wht is now Highway 377). Thanks to good friends, Marc and Rebecca, for telling us about this little piece of history almost in our back yard.
