Deck railing added at cabin

Memorial Day weekend was spent at the Ely cabin building a new deck. Carpenters were Pat, Doug and Mike with meal services provided by Christine and Bob (and mighty fine food it was!). Weather cooperated, even to allow swimming in the seventy degree lake water!

Zilker Botanical Garden

The Lunderoy’s hosted “the rents” Liz and Mike for a spring visit to Austin Texas. In addition to the requisite BBQ and TexMex dining out, we grilled fish, had Kelly’s homemade key lime pie and dinner with a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse! We also really enjoyed the visit to Zilker Botanical Garden, as you’ll see by our photos.

Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Garden

A lovely day at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Garden in Austin, Texas, begins with breakfast/brunch/lunch at Whole Foods, a nice cuppa java from Starbucks, and a short ride across town. The Wildflower Gardens are ripe with promise. Coming back in another two weeks, we’re sure, would reveal a whole new assortment of plants in bloom. Lovely hardscape, engaging stone towers with circular staircases that lead to overlooks, and a clever arrangement of rain-capturing eaves and troughs, all leading down, down, down to water features and turtles. Lovely.

Visting Austin, Tx

mike — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 02:17:18 +0000

Saturday, March 14. We strike out for Austin, and make our way to the University of Texas. There, we see the history museum (but don’t go inside), the capitol building (but only from a distance), and the Blanton Museum of Art. We view the modern/contemporary art section of the permanent collection, speed past the antiquities, and spend a luxurious amount of time viewing Birth of Cool, an exhibit focused on mid-century design, culture, furniture, and music. Much time spent watching a small girl spin wildly in an Eames chair. Our favorite? “Stacked Waters,” the acrylic installation by Teresita Fernandez. Beautiful, restful, makes you want to stand in the atrium forever.

Christmas 2008

The holiday activities were non-stop, end-to-end events with family arriving from Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Iowa. It all began with cookie baking at Liz’s, then a beautiful event Christmas eve at the home of Carla and Les with their clan, and Christmas day at home with the kids and Conner. Friday we took Conner, Lindsay, Nick, and Austin to visit Jeanne and Tony and spread some holiday cheer. Then Saturday, off to Brainerd for the other side of the family. Curt and Rene treated us all to a party and sleigh ride with all the aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Wow! What a great time. Next off to the homestead for a big feast and gift exchange.
