Wonders

I was thrilled to see this very large alligator sunning himself at the edge of the pond as Bill and I hiked the trail at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Austwell, Texas. He was in the perfect position for awesome photos.

Christmas 2009

Christmas in San Antonio was a lot of fun with daughter Jodi, Brian, and granddaughters Kaylee and Sydney. After Jodi cooked a fabulous dinner with HoneyBaked ham as the main attraction, we decided it had been far too long since we got together for a family photo. Time to say "Cheese."
