Views of the Neighborhood – Trash Day
Since it is a slow day here in Lakeway, I decided we would look at some of the locals’ recycling habits. This will be a short trip so we will want to spend a lot of time eating and drinking. I think most of you are familiar with the tour bus. First impressions can be […]

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
Twiggy gets her wish. Friday is here, and we are all glad. Before I forget I am also at Story Empire today. Here’s the link but come back. This has been one heck of a start to 2021. We all witnessed an insurrection act that we haven’t seen since the British burned the Capital in […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy Play Outside

Normally I would be doing a post on a historical event but this week was pretty slow in the History department. (Sorry, Susannah and Andrew) It just so happens that today is National Spaghetti Day. So I thought it would be fun to lay out some things not to do in celebration of spaghetti […]
Views of the Neighborhood – A Walk in the Park
It is a pretty slow week in Lakeway, so I decided to get the bus ready and prepare a spread and have a picnic in the park. No moaning. I have prepared roasted chicken served with fingerling potato salad, chilled asparagus, hollandaise sauce, and charro beans to get you in the mood. For dessert, we […]
