Graveyard Hours
Stars in the night sky.
Moon shining bright overhead.
Calm before rush hour.

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels in Photos
Posted: June 19, 2013 in Photography, TravelTags: Comal River, German, New Braunfels Texas, Schlitterbahn, Texas, Theme Parks, United States, Water park
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels has been the #1 water park in America for several years do to its proximity to the Comal River, innovating ride technology, free parking, and the ability to carry your own food in and have a picnic. You have water coasters, tube shoots, water slides, surfing with Boogie Bahn, and several water play areas for children. In the old section of the park the water is non-chlorinated Comal River water flowing through the rides at 72 degrees. A nice chill that keeps one cool in Texas summer heat and definitely original. I have never seen it done at any water parks in America. I am proud to say I have been chilling out at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels since the opening in 1979. New Braunfels sister city is Braunfels, Germany, and after a visit to Schlitterbahn you will understand why because German heritage is everywhere. For more information check out their site at http://www.schlitterbahn.com/nb/
Here are a few photos I took at the park last week. I hope they inspire you to find your way their and enjoy a day of fun.

This cash register was around in the days when people could count their money as fast as a computer today. I took this photo at Hinze’s BBQ in Sealy, Texas.

This is one of those dishes were I took a look in the fridge and said,”I need to use my leeks and peppers today before they go bad.” So I grab some white clam sauce and linguine from the cabinet. I take my vegetables and saute them in olive oil, garlic, basil, Italian parsley, and add a touch of fresh black pepper and salt. Combine the linguine, clam sauce, and vegetables, and create a magical dish in less than 30 minutes.
Lemon Herb Marinated Chicken and Roasted Beet Salad with Dijon Vinegarette
Posted: June 7, 2013 in FoodTags: Beet, Digital photography, Food and Drink, Photography, Recipes, roasted chicken, Salad
Today, I decided to work with some new dishes for lunch. These two recipes come from the cookbook Creating Empty Bottle Moments by Clive Berkman. I must say that the chicken recipe is one of the best I have ever had, and the roasted beet salad is bursting with flavor. In fact, this is the first time I have ever eaten beet greens. They are delicious!
Here is a link to the cookbook
This book not only covers food, but the love and meaning behind it. It is a cookbook like none I have ever experienced regarding food and life.
And here is my finished product!

The Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Museum in Austin, Texas is large and full of history during one of America’s most tumultuous time periods. The museum captures very clearly how troubled our country was during Johnson’s reign. Interestingly, much of what people were fighting for over 45 years ago is still ongoing today. There is always a fight for balance on the scales of justice. Whether you like Johnson, or hate him, this museum will open your mind to the many challenges of being President Of The United States.

Presidential museums are some of the most amazing places to visit to learn about American history. The George Bush Museum in College Station, Texas is no exception. There are halls and halls of exhibits to make learning American history enjoyable. Whether you love or hate Mr. Bush, I suggest a visit because the amount of information, and eye-opening experience is phenomenal. Anyone who thinks it is easy to be a president will soon think otherwise after a visit.

George Ranch Historical Park
Posted: June 7, 2013 in Photography, TravelTags: Antonio López de Santa Anna, Battle of San Jacinto, Digital photography, George Ranch Historical Park, Photography, Texas History
A short drive from Houston, the George Ranch Historical Park offers away to go back in time and understand life in a by-gone era. At certain times, events are held to re-enact periods of history. It is truly one of the best living history museums around. I visited the ranch during the runaway scrape, which is a re-enacted battle between Texan and Mexican troops as Santa Anna was marching towards San Jacinto.

Here are some photos I took on my visit. I hope they inspire you to visit and take your own photos, and learn more about Texas history.
Patience
Waiting the lost art
Interfering compulsion
Take time to relax
