Our first batches of beer arriving in their new home!

 Organic Pinot Nior's taste even better if you let them breathe...

Roasting beets with just a touch of olive oil, salt and pepper brings out their 

beautiful colors and flavors.

What an amazing town. I love this place!

Nate and I traveled to Austin to see my dear friend Leanna and her wonderful husband Jed.

 The Cathedral of Junk is a place you would only find here in Austin and is 

real proof the city is upholding the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan.

 Here Nate and I are standing in front of what looks like a pile of junk but is really an amazing 3 story play house.

Nate, Tom and Jed with the Master Creator and the newest junk addition they helped to place onto
THE CATHEDRAL. 

All over the city there are beautiful murals painted onto the sides of buildings

adding tons of character to the city.

I love the use of outdoor seating at bars, markets
and restaurants.  Who wants to be
inside when you can enjoy a local brew
outside in the warm weather?  Well maybe when
its over 100 degrees in the summer...

The number of swimming holes in and around Austin truly makes this a special place. 

We traveled to a privately owned campground with a swimming hole, river and hiking trails 

within an hour from Austin.  The surrounding nature has a very positive affect on the city and the people who reside there.

Visit Austin!
