The moon was up this morning when I first looked out. This was about 6:30 am so I had to get a picture. It was really cool. We usually walk in the morning before it gets too hot, so this morning the moon was out, we saw a hot air balloon and two rabbits. It was a good morning. We got back by 7:50 so it wasn't too hot, only about 80 deg!! We walk thru a local subdivision next to the rv park and loop thru all the streets. It takes us about 50 minutes and I guess is about 3 miles in total.We went fishing on Thursday at Georgetown Lake. This lake is about 1 mile from our house and about 5 miles from where we are staying now. This fish is the 3rd Texas bass so far and was caught on a spinnerbait amongst the trees. The day was cloudy and only around 90 deg. The sun came out about 4 pm so we went swimming before we headed back to the rv. There aren't too many boats on the lake during the week so it's pretty nice. There are three Corps of Engineers Parks on the lake and two have camping. The only have electric and water and a dump station for sewer so we haven't camped there yet. 
The shot below is of Terry's spinnerbait stuck in the tree. You can see it in the center of the picture (white). This happens quite a lot in these trees. Also, these trees are the reason we have a scratch on the new motor. When the wind is blowing it makes it hard to get around the trees without bumping into them. Also the motor is on a jack plate so it sticks out away from the boat so it makes it hard for the back seater to keep the motor off the trees!!

The next shot is of the birds sitting in the trees. There were lots of them so had to get a picture. 
Also, as you can see from the "tire" picture, the water here was very high when they had a lot of flooding. It's pretty amazing as you look around the lake and see the water line from the floods. It looks like it was at least 40 feet higher than now. Of course, now there hasn't been any rain and they are 8 or 9 inches below for rain fall this year. We had a rain storm last Monday while we were at Belton Lake (about 30 miles north). Fortunately we had just got off the water before the rain hit. We were covering up the boat and the rain, wind and hail started. We got the cover partially on and then sat in the car while it stormed. It lasted about 30 minutes and then it was amazing how much water was on the cover in puddles. I think we could have put some fish in those puddles and fished from the side of the boat. Of course we got soaked while we were dumping the water off of the top and it was COLD water!! It dropped the temp about 20 degs.
The view below is of the San Gabriel River as it comes back to the main lake body. Lots of trees as you can see. This was late in the day and you can see the sky is coming out and the sun is ready to pop out and heat things up. We were pretty much thru fishing at this point and ready to go riding and hunting more fish. We did see lots of schoolers on the lake but didn't hook any. We got some of the schoolers on Belton Lake on Monday and that was fun.
Another view of the river coming into the main lake. There is a boat in the distance (center of river) running around the lake. We see just as many fishing boats here as ski boats or pleasure boats. A good mix. So far there haven't been any of those big wake jumpers, but we don't go out on the weekend.
I call this picture "When the Fat Lady Sings". I had my Ipod in my pocket and was singing along to the music. Terry was getting a kick out of my singing. Too bad he couldn't hear the music!!
We dropped by the house yesterday afternoon and they are working on the trim. The doors below are going from the hallway into the study. All of the closet shelving has been done now and they will finish the trim and moldings this weekend and start on the painting and tile work this next week. The cabinets are about 2 weeks out according to Spencer (our foreman/supervisor). We are still on schedule for at Sept. 29 closing or thereabouts. Hopefully sooner because Terry has to be somewhere in the middle of the country in Oct for a fishing tournament.

Well, hope you all are having a good July. More later. Sandy
