Home again

We are home again from the Creek and have accomplished a lot. I posted a picture of the finished bath, well not really finished but close enough that it appears so. That was our major project for the trip. The two weeks went by quickly, it was cold, windy and rainy most of the time but we enjoyed the work and made good progress. We had a few days where outside work could be done and Martha used them to paint the front of the house and burn the rest of the old boat and some other burnable trash.

The area we are in has many birds and we were able to spot a few that are here on our Texas coast. One was a Roseate Spoonbill, a large bird with pink feathers on the wings and a large spoon shaped bill. Another was the Great Blue Heron. There were a pair of these that frequent the area of our house. They and the Brown pelican have wingspans of almost 6 feet and are neat to watch. We have many Brown pelicans so they are pretty common. I'll try to post some pictures of the birds later.

Last night we went to a neighbors and had a seafood buffet. he had cooked fish, shrimp and oysters as well as potatoes, fried pickles, etc. We all ate more than we should have except Martha who is not a seafood lover like me, although she did try some of the seafood. It was all very good.

Well tomorrow we go back to work and I begin the last month of employment. My replacement has been hired and will start tomorrow as well. It should make for an interesting month, I am looking forward to it.
