I don't get enough family time so it's always a treat to get to spend time with them. Saturday morning early, chauffered by my son Lee, I departed to San Marcos to visit my daughter. She and her husband had recently had a new house built, and have just moved into it. It's a very impressive home on 33 wooded acres. I can't wait to see it once the yard gets landscaped. It's quite a mess yet, but she has bird feeders and bath out, which is a good start. Here's video of her trying to keep cattle away from her temporary water feature. They keep it drained. A contractor will be installing a fence in a couple of weeks. Then she'll be able to do some permanent stuff.

Meanwhile, here we are looking at her birds in the late afternoon. It took several weeks before birds starting showing up to her feeders and water. Once landscaped, it'll keep getting better.
While there, I got to visit briefly with Lee's oldest daughter. She's graduating from Texas State Univerity next month with a degree in computer science. Already she's working for Motorola, and making an obscene salary.

Nice that you get to spend time with your family. I too got a degree in Computer Information System (different from Computer Science) and worked at Motorola in Austin back in the seventies. I'm now 73 years young and work full time for the federal government as a programmer and teach as an adjucnt professesor at a major university. I never get tired of going to work to play with computers. Like working at a toy store. I have retired several time but they keep offerring me jobs.
It was nice reading your experience. I'll share it with my granddaughter. Thanks.
