Bandera

So much has happened in one month! For starters, I'm posting pictures from my beautiful sunny day hike up Bandera Mountain at the beginning of November (never got around to posting these). It was oddly warm- upward of 70's in the mountains! That's completely unheard of- except for in 1944, where the weather did that exact thing followed by gobs of snow and record breaking temps. Guess what? We currently are sitting in gobs of snow and record breaking temps- history is repeating.

So I'm drifting back to my early November hike reminiscing in the warmth before all of this was covered by over 2 feet of snow (yes, these pics were only 3 weeks ago- now it's impassible).

Lastly, we just got back from warm sand beaches and the 80 degree water and air temp of the gorgeous island of Hawaii. This shutterbug has a zillion picture from there too- so I will post when time allow. The highlight of our trip was doing 13 scuba dives and enjoying the heck out of the reef life down there. We were treated to some amazing creatures. It's hard to come home (literally, it was hard to come home as we nearly didn't MAKE it home with the deep snow and ice on the hills)- but also...it was a fantastic vacation and really tough coming home to winter after living in 2 weeks of the best summer imaginable. Until the next post...Happy Turkey Day!
