“VRHS Ranger Marching Band” Cedar Park, 2021

This evening we went to the neighborhood stadium to watch the high school band perform their upcoming show that they will be featuring next school year. It was a beautiful evening and so nice to be back outside doing something “normal”.

I’d say 80% of the audience was wearing masks, even though they band directors asked that everyone continue to mask up. 🙄 I’m not so worried since my family is vaccinated, but there’s still a chance that you could get sick so we had our masks on the whole time. The entire band wore masks (except when playing wind instruments) so it’s not such a big ask that the parents all mask up as well.

Anyway, it was a fun night and the band sounded great. I can’t wait to hear the music in a competition setting!

Yakiniku must be one of the top meals for meat-eaters. Grilling right at the table is such a treat! In addition to the beef, pork belly, and sausage, we had mozzarella cheese, haloumi cheese, onion, kimchee, salad, and Sigeumchi-namul (spinach). So yummy!

“Loaded Up” Houston, 2021

This afternoon I drove down to Houston to help Bay move back home for the summer. Everything fit nicely in the back of my Subaru, and we had plenty of room to accommodate a special delivery of Mochinuts. 😂 They were delicious!

Out near Bastrop, we got to see a car on fire. It looked intense! A fire truck had just arrived on-scene and the car didn’t appear to be involved in an accident so that’s good news.

Anyways, it’s good to have my son back home and catch up a bit. I missed him! 🥰

I hope you had a good day! またね~

Sunset Bicycle Ride

“Twilight Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021

We had another stormy day today but the sky lightened up just after sunset so Mango and I went to the nearby park to see if there were any interesting clouds. They were pretty good, in my opinion!

“Mango at Twilight” Cedar Park, 2021

We only went out for a few minutes to take the photos because it was still sprinkling a little bit and there was thunder rumbling as well so I thought it best not to be out on the bicycle too long. 😁

Brief Storm

“Mammatus Clouds” Cedar Park, 2021

A storm rolled though the area this afternoon, with a severe weather watch in effect for a couple of hours. We had heavy rain, no hail, and an amazing showing by the storm clouds! These photos are highly stylized in Adobe Lightroom, but I really like them. They look like the undersides of ocean waves, don’t they?
