Visit to East Texas

I just returned from going to my granddaughter's graduation from Texas State University in San Marcos. Her degree is in computer science. As is the tradition there, after the ceremony, the graduates take a plunge into the spring-fed San Marcos River. The icy water and cool weather didn't slow them down either. Here's Erynya with her proud father before the swim. 

The plunge!

And afterwards...

While at my daughter's, we feasted on her gormet cooking. Here are a couple of the five star meals she made.

Beef enchiladas, beans, and guacamole

Chicken-fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes and salad

All in all, a great trip! My son, Lee, did all the driving. I added a few species to my Hays County list while there, too. I think I could've done better if not for my lingering respiratory infection. The weather was really cold. I coughed so often that by the time I got home I was totally hoarse.
