Swim Classes
My girls are taking swim classes at the Kyle Pool. They're doing a great job at teaching the kiddos how to swim. I think my 5 year old is going to be sans floaties soon. HIGHLY recommend taking the Kyle Parks and Rec swim classes.

Los Cuervos Flauteria
Last Sunday, we went to Los Cuervos Flauteria. It's a new restaurant in Kyle.
The word "Cuervo" is spanish for black bird like Raven or Crow..FYI.
The owner chatted me up while making my flauta, which is a fried tortilla wrapped around meat..in this case it was flank steak. It was interesting... he discovered this flauta while visitng Mexico (through El Paso I believe). He liked it so much that he decided to create a restaurant around it.
Now.. as of 7/26/12 there is ONE item on the menu. This Flauta. You buy them in multiples (4+) and they come with these two salsas, which are VERY flavorful and not spicy. He also has a spicy sauce you can add, that is AWESOME.
We got ours "to-go" so he made me this one in order to show me the proper way to "dress" the flautas.
I'll be back...

Vlad...the Vulture
This was the last shot I got before my batteries died in my camera. I like it a lot... but the next shot would have been about 10 seconds later when the vulture left the top of this telephone pole... took flight and displayed his enormous wingspan.
This is down at the dead-end of Center Street in Kyle, Texas (the dead-end that doesn't end at the highway)

Serenity in Kyle, Texas.
I took a little scenic drive down Center Street... I followed it West of FM 150 for about a mile. It's the road that you probably wouldn't take unless you knew someone back there.... or were looking for photo ops. Beautiful country back there. I saw this along the way.

Mailboxes... to go?
They're doing some work on the road, so folks that live down this road had to find an inventive way to get their mail. Made me chuckle.

My kickball team, PRAY BALL, took 5th place in the "B" league in the Kyle Parks and Recreation tournament a week ago. We had a lot of fun... and prayed with every team we played. It's a mission and a blessing to be able to exercise and be an example of Christians in the world.
...and it's a lot of fun. We start the next season on March 2, 2012... woot!
FYI.. this is our unofficial move... it's called the "CACAW!" and it works best if you actually say CACAW when doing it.

We got on the delivery list of Millburg Farm! Millburg is Kyle's "Community Supported Agriculture" (CSA) farmer. He's been at it for over 20 years.
That means each week we will receive fresh veggies. VERY excited about this... we've tried to get on the route for about 2 years.
So... our 2nd week delivery is in...and we made some "green chips." These are made from kale, collard, turnip and beet greens along with arugula and swiss char.
Tossed in olive oil... lightly salted... and crisped up in the over = YUM!.

How I celebrated my 39th
Sunday was my birthday. Saturday night was the annual Neil Diamond birthday celebration. The theme was "East Coast / West Coast) which explains "The Dude" and my "Jersey Shore" get-up. Well... this was my birthday shot. It was some smooth tequila... and I'm happy to say I stopped at 1. I'm getting slightly wiser in my old age.

Happy New year.
This past Sunday was "baptism Sunday" at the Kyle United Methodist Church... where folks were given the opportunity to reflect on their baptismal vows.
Here, during Children's Time, the kiddos got to pick a smooth stone out of the baptism water. The stone represented the idea of cleanliness and being washed in the spirit.
Pretty moving Sunday.
Here's the sermon, if you're interested. The guest liturgist was Bradford Johnson. Pastor Barbara Aziz was ill, so he filled in.
