On the night before our wedding

 Judy’s mom had “that” talk with her about sex.  Judy shared it with me. She said Judy would put on a negligee and get in bed.  I would go in the bathroom and get ready. A negligee.  Okay.  I get that part.  Not really necessary, but not a problem.  Getting in bed.  Yeah.  That works. Fifty years later, I’m still in the bathroom wondering what it is I’m supposed to be doing to get ready…

We did not take this owl picture

  We can’t take credit for it. What we did do, is have a visit with a traveling birding couple we ran into at Bentsen Rio Grande State Park, and tell them how to find the owl.  Local knowledge that would never show up in a guidebook.  They found the owls and he took some awesome pictures, sharing this one with us. He leads photography and birding tours in China. http://craigbrelsford.com/
