Growing Up In BanderaThe view you get of the old familiar water tower as you come into Bandera from San Antonio way is rapidly changing. Communication towers, modern rooftops and newer water towers continue to pop up. Billboards are becoming more commonplace as traffic increases. It's kinda sad to see the changes but to add a positive twist, they do distract from the sight of all the litter strewn along the roadways these days.

The View From Dry Creek HillA cat took refuge from the bitter cold this February and became my office cat. She’s sitting on the windowsill watching the deer and the birds this morning. The windows are open and we’re both enjoying the air and the view. If either one of us sneezes or coughs it’s only the pollen reminding us how nature works. I’m OK with that, and the cat doesn’t seem to care either.
