This is a photo from 2 Friday's ago. I took this before we played another team. This Friday we god pwned by The Intimidators.
The Intimidators are a good team.
Pray Ball is a fun team.
Gene... the guy kicking here... is darn good. On defense he plays shortstop... and NOTHING gets past him.
I learned not to kick it to Gene.
This photo is of the Kyle Kickball League... one of the cool things brought to you by the Kyle Parks and Recreation Department.
I've heard rumors that budgets are being cut and we may lose some funding to the Park and Rec Dept. THAT WOULD BE A SHAME.
Activities like the Adult Kickball League are great additions to the Kyle landscape. Great people. Great times. Great fun... while exercising.

Done for the day and trying to find a little shade...
Our neighborhood pool is a happy place. When you hang out there for a while, you start to know the American family isn't in any jeopardy at all; that it's really thriving in all its patterns and permutations, whatever they may be. And we are certainly equalized by our need to cool off. While this photo was being taken, I was explaining to my son that God gave us a little built-in air conditioner. He says, "Is it the size of one of those little hamburgers?" as if we had a miniature HVAC somewhere nestled alongside the left lung or something. "No," I explained, "we sweat and wind moves across our bodies and cools the water." He says, "I think your hat is my good air conditioner."

Three Wolf Moon is at The Old Town Gift Emporium. I felt the power. I asked my mother in law to hold the shirt up so I could take a photo. She has no clue about the 3WM.
Do you? Check out Three Wolf Moon on Amazon.com. Just take a browse at the comments. It's amazing.

Here's a bright idea. It's a lamp that looks like a lady from the waist down. It kind of reminded me of "A Christmas Story."

It's now open (so says the sign).
I've never been there, but on Yahoo, a person called 'Satisfied Customer" has this to say:
"I was really impressed with the honesty and excellent service provided. There prices are reasonable and just overall excellent service. I highly recommend Chapa Autocraft to anyone."
Now... that doesn't sound like a fake entry... does it?
They've got a webpage.

Manhole Cover
This is just about the prettiest manhole cover I've ever seen. I found it on the roads that have recently been built behind the new Kohl's.

Growing my own.
I'm shamelessly assuming that my own back yard is interesting enough to be Kyle's daily photo. But it's fall garden season, y'all! It's the trade off of the hot summers that you can begin again in late August with tomatoes, squash, and peppers. I started my tomato sprouts today.
The watermelons will last another couple of months. They take a good long while to get ready to eat, so come see me in September for juicy homegrown yumminess!

There's going to be a new fire station in Kyle. This thing is a monster. It's going to be called "Station #1." I swear.. I don't know who comes up with those awesome names. But, I'm really glad it's happening. We are a big enough city to have this... and we're getting it. Yahoo.
Some history:
The Kyle Fire Department was formed, soon after the town of Kyle itself, in 1880. The membership of the department was divided up into three companies, a Hook and Ladder Company, a Bucket Brigade Company, and a Hose Company.

New business...
This building is located on Front Street, next door to the big slice of cherry pie (aka Texas Pie Company). They're applying for a liquor license... ARE WE GETTING A BAR IN KYLE?
Yea.
(It was about 2 years ago that selling alcohol by the bottle/glass was approved in town... before that you couldn't have a beer with dinner in a restaurant... FYI)

This is located about a block left of downtown, just over the tracks.
This has been about 4 things in the last 5 years. a couple of coffee shops, a pandarea, a gift shop... I just found out that it will be the new location of the Lucky Cup Coffeehouse.
Lucky Cup used to be located in the front of the Plum Creek neighborhood. It disappeared about a month ago. I really liked it there... they threw free concerts and we had a lot of good memories.
Hopefully that vibe will be retained in the new location. Not sure when it will open... but as I understand it, it will be here.
Check their Website to see when they will open:

On Friday night, I'm a part of a co-ed kickball team called PRAY BALL. We're all members of the Kyle United Methodist Church.
This was the scene after the game. I'm posing with a ball on my head... the ball that I popped by kicking it onto the fence (foul ball). Jenni J. is in front of me...she did the splits as she ran to second base...and was safe. in the front is Andrea...she didn't want to be out so she dove for first base. She was out... but it was AWESOME.
So... it was a really really fun game. Our team lost 1-0 but it was a great time.
We play again on Friday @ 7:30. For team schedules and game time... check the link:

If you've been to Kyle.. you've been stopped by a train.
If you've driven from Kyle to San Marcos... you've probably been stopped by the same train... twice.

Working to bring worlds together... these are the very young men and women of Kyle studying timeworn Korean discipline, coordination, and honor. At the beginning and end of every class at Larsen's Taekwondo, the students and instructors recite a pledge:
"I promise
to be a good person
with knowledge in my mind
strength in my body
honesty in my heart
to make good friends
to be a good leader
and to earn my black belt."
I truly believe this place is one of the best things ever to happen to my son.

This is a shot of the Kyle Auction Oak. It's one of our historical landmarks. Located on 204 S. Sledge St (turn left one block past "the square" downtown and head a few blocks in) in front of a residence.
Here's some history.
Historical period: Frontier Texas (1865 - 1899)
Historical topics: Frontier Settlements
Species: Live Oak (Quercus virginiana)
County: Hays
Public access?: Yes
Between 1870 and 1880, the international and great Northern Railroad planned to construct a line between Austin and San Antonio. However, when the planners found that no towns lay on the route between San Marcos and Austin, they decided to establish a station town at some point along their route.
Several offers of land in northern Hays County were received, but the offer by the Captain Ferguson Kyle and D. R. Moore families was accepted. All of the land, excepting a depot site and track right-of-way, was then deeded to the Texas Land Company for development as a town.
In less than a week, the town was surveyed and a plat recorded with the county clerk. Streets and alleys were deeded to the town, officially designated as Kyle, Texas, in honor of one of the men who donated the land. Captain Kyle was a native of Mississippi and had served as a captain with Terry's Rangers in the War Between the States.
In the shade of this mammoth live oak, all of the business lots and most of Kyle's residential lots were sold at auction. As an added inducement, the railroad offered free train rides to participants in the sale.
The land on which this historic tree stands was donated by the railroad in June 1881 for the construction of the town's first school, Kyle Academy.

Very interesting slogan.
"We meet the nicest people by accident"
Funny... for that time in your life when things aren't really that comical.

August 1 was my Grandma Soja's birthday. She passed away in 2006. One of the things she really liked was the Crepe Myrtle, the tree seen here.
Someday I'm going to plant a Crepe Myrtle in her honor in my yard.
(Here's my Kyle Daily Photo post I put up when I learned she passed away - http://kyledailyphoto.blogspot.com/2006/10/rest-in-peace-helen-louise-soja.html)

The field of kickball...dreams.
If you want to see a bunch of adults play a kids game.. you should make it out to Gregg Clarke Park Field #1 (the one next to the Post Office on Rebel Road) tonight at about 6:30 to catch my team (PRAY BALL) play the Intimidators in KICK BALL.
Cheer on the Kyle United Methodist Church. You will get your rewards in heaven.*
It's going to be fun.

Went to Milt's Pit BBQ to pick up dinner the other day. Still the best brisket in town.. and the kiddos LOVE the turkey.
One of the things I like about the place is this wall.. it's full of past-customer's signatures and comments. Awesome. I had to take a photo.
Jessica said "Great BBQ" on 4/15/08. I agree.

I've got a little story to tell about Fox's Pizza.
They've been open for over a year now (I shot their sign in May 08) and my family prefers it to any of the others in town. But that's not the story... here's the story.
So... Wednesday night, my 5 year old daughter has the flu... my wife is staying home with her. I picked up my 2 year old from daycare and called home asking if I could pick anything up for dinner. She decided she'd call Fox's Pizza and I could drive straight there to pick it up.
I arrive at Fox's. Pick up the pizza... and other things.. They dropped it into a bag for me... gave my daughter a free kids cup (they rock that way), and I paid them and headed home. So... normal story so far.. right?
OK.. I got home. and set the pizza down.. made some kind of remark about the extra stuff my wife ordered... she asked "what other stuff" and I showed her the 6 garlic chicken wings and dozen mozzarella sticks. She said she didn't order them. I went to the pizza boxes and found a large cheese and medium meatball pizza. I realized... THIS ISN'T OUR ORDER.
I called to let them know, and they already knew. They had cancelled the credit card transaction and said they would send a driver out with our order. They said we could keep the order we brought home (ROCK ON). I decided to drive back and pick our pizza up. My daughter had her heart set on her bacon-topped pizza and breadsticks.
When I arrived, they handed me the correct order, along with the canceled credit card slip and told me that our order was free too. They apparently had two people named "Sean" that ordered for pick-up.
Just so I could pay for SOMETHING I got a slice of cheesecake.. a new menu item...
I hope the other "Sean" doesn't fault Fox's for the err... I sure don't.
They were already my family's favorite place in town for pizza, and now I like them even more now than I did before.
Oh.. and meatball pizza is GOOD. That other Sean has good taste in ordering. We ate on that order for 4 days. I just finished the last of the pizza for lunch today.

Nice.. um.. pants.
A friend GAVE me a bunch of funky pants. They rock. I wore the pink ones to work on Tuesday. Got a lot of attention. My wife just kind of laughed at me.
I also wore them to "coffee with the pastor" Tuesday night.. nothing greets your new pastor (at the Kyle United Methodist Church) like greeting her wearing shockingly pink pants.
Want to get your own pair?
Check out the "BidBits" store on E-Bay. It's her store.

We're on the prairie, folks.
The land that was cleared for my development is really only one degree removed from wild. As we water our grass on our allotted one day per week, and dig weeds, and poison fire ants, we continue to see the stubborn mesquite push up through every effort. This little tree is a fine example of natural selection. And, in many ways, it's a good companion for us. It restores nitrogen to the soil. The wood is hard and fine, makes good furniture, smokes great meat. The pod seeds can be ground into flour. And once the saplings move from their tender infant stage, they do not continue to produce thorns.
I have decided to let one grow. There's not much I can do about it anyway...

Things I love about Manna From Heaven...
-Picadillo tacos are ¡Holy Moly!
-Super fresh delicious healthy salad/soup/fruit bar.

-The loquat tree. Sean has a loquat he likes, too... http://kyledailyphoto.blogspot.com/2009/04/loquat.html
-The salsa is HOT!
-The whole staff has Sundays off. In other words, they are closed.
-Prayer request jar. Who don't?
-The pistol shaped grill. I don't care what you say- that thing is totally cool.

Kyle is getting a hospital. According to the Seton Web site, Seton Medical Center Hays will open its doors for patients on October 1, 2009. Great news!
You may notice the white thing that is on top of the hospital. This "cornette" is symbolic of the linen hat that the Sisters of Charity wore. The Seton hospitals were founded by The Daughters of Charity in the 1900s.
The July 8 edition of the Hays Free Press has a nice article talking about the cornette. You can read it here:

Helping it to rain.
It actually rained in Kyle this morning. I'd like to thank this man... whom was getting his car washed on the 4th of July. I'll bet he doesn't know it, but just by getting a car wash, he increased the chances of rain by 50%.
You know... nothing brings rain like a freshly washed vehicle. At least that was my thought as I was waiting in the Long John Silvers drive-thru when I saw him pull into the wash... and took this photo.

Addi the puppy.
I hit up the parade in my neighborhood with the kiddos yesterday morning, then I head out to check out the Kyle Market Days.
Of all the interesting 4th of July themed outfits I saw, I think this one was my favorite.
The puppy is Addi Blessings.
The outfit is by Dora Sosa. She has a business called "Addi's Place" that is out each month at the Market Days.
Very cool.

Ain't that America...
Today is Independence Day. We honor our own fine nation, a place where tolerance and equality are winning the day. My family is thankful every day that we wake up here. What better way to celebrate the US than a photo montage of middle America? Kyle is, in so many ways, the quintessential small town. People know each other. We live simply. We like fireworks and pie. But Kyle also represents the face of a changing, and to my mind improving, global culture. A return to community, but with the added bonus of true diversity. And we all care a whole lot what happens, not just here but everywhere. This is home. This is the United States of America.
The marquee reads: "People are as friendly as you are." Have a great day!

This place is awesome. It's clean, quiet, family-owned, well-lit, safe, and there's wireless.
These kids are also awesome. They're messy, unruly, family-owned, precarious, and the best part of my world wide web.

At the June Kyle Market Days I found The Texas Pie Company's mobile grilling unit out and cooking up some Kyle Burgers.
It's called a "Kyle Burger" because all of the ingredients from the meat to the toppings are locally grown.
You can read more about that in an April story of the Hays Free Press:

The next Kyle Market Days is this Saturday, July 4.
Who's playing?
9 a.m., Texas Blind Salamanders
noon, Pee Wee & The Way 'Tis
I always take the girls out there for a little fun, music, and business card collecting (my 5 year old collects business cards. Yes... I like that. Business cards are free...
Anyhow... I'm thinking I'm finally going to try one of these Kyle Burgers this week.
