 “Sparkling Wine” Fredericksburg, 2022

こんにちは. How’s it going?

Today we went to the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg to taste some wine at a few of the numerous wineries. It’s about an hour and a half drive from us, and I was the designated driver, which is fine because I love to drive. The weather was hot, but pleasant because of a breeze so sitting outside on the patios at the wineries was just about perfect! It was fun to take my mom and sister-in-law out to the Hill Country. A very nice day.

 “Bats” Austin, 2022

We went down to Congress Avenue Bridge to watch the bats fly off into the night sky. Unfortunately, the bats took flight when it was getting too dark, but we still had fun. I really enjoyed taking photos of the bridge while we were waiting for the bats. 😀🦇

High School Graduate

“Thumbs Up” Cedar Park, 2022

Today our youngest graduated from high school. It was a very nice ceremony, and we were very proud because our son is the student body president, and gave the welcoming remarks and introductions, then sat on stage. Amazing!

Next year, he’s off to college so our house will be quiet… We’ll see how that feels. 😄

 “Mic” Cedar Park, 2022

Hi all! I’ve been streaming on Twitch for a couple of months now, and have reached affiliate status. That means I can play ads on my channel and maybe make a little money. However, I’m not so sure I want to do that. I just like doing a co-working stream in the mornings because it helps me focus on work, and also practice ukulele at breaks. And of course I’ve met some really cool people as well.

But it would be nice to make a little money too! Anyways, that’s probably a long way off before there’s more than a few cents to be made. 😆 I’m just going to enjoy the ride.

I hope you had a nice day! またね〜
