Back from Stephenville.

So last week Mateo and I were in Stephenville house sitting for my parents. They were in Fort Worth while my dad had surgery for his prostate cancer. (Everything went well.) Mateo and I kept barely any schedule at all - sleeping and eating whenever our hearts desired. Mat was definitely spoiled with having a tv in our bedroom, something we don't allow at home. It was a nice break actually, as I'm usually pretty schedule driven, as most of you already know. I especially enjoyed having my friend from high school JoBob and his wife Caris (also a friend, not just the wife) over one evening.

We returned home in time for the weekend, during which we didn't work ourselves too hard. Rafi worked on the sprinkler system (he's been tweaking it lately), and I barely worked in the garden. Gosh it's so hot lately! And summer has only just begun.

We did managed to take our amassed recycled goods to Texas Ecology Action downtown. It's really easy and quick, so if you live in the area - even the surrounding ones - it's totally worth the once a month (or less) trip to recycle your goods. And if you don't live near Austin, find out what's available to you in your area!
