Walled up!

It took some serious work to make this eco-friendly retaining wall on Shoal Creek.

Welcome, friends!

We hosted our annual movie party in August-- it took a while to get this photo up. Two great films on the program. Here we are outside the theater.

Another mural!

We were walking down the Drag the other day and saw this mural for the first time. ("Taco Bell loves Austin.") Lots of good artists in town.

Happy trails!

We saw this plaque on the Hike and Bike Trail the other day -- it is dedicated to Janet Fish who did so much to make the trail happen.

Burgerlicious!

Oh my, but this Fixe Burger hits the spot -- the meat is some of the best I have ever tasted in a burger. Short rib, brisket and chuck. Plus a secret sauce!

Modern look

Interesting to see these modern-looking houses going in next to 1940s style cottages. This one is in Old West Austin.

The devil went down to Texas

That's the name of an old song. I think it's what the owners of this well-known sign shop had in mind here.
