George Bush Hike and Bike Trails

Continuing on the weekend before lasts journey.....Friday-Sunday I'm taking care of Dad so my sis can get the heck outta dodge and go enjoy a river house with all of her family.
This is over at the George Bush Hike and Bike Trails which to be honest, I never knew even existed until recently and it's pretty nice!
  • This is actually part of the damn area around the park to help prevent flooding.

Up and over the hill are the trails and the wetland area

By the time I got back over the hill I was about ready to get in water like this guy...just not this water :)

Glad I decided to leave Max at home because it was really too hot for me and I over did it and was wiped out from the heat!

Ok, Ann, you know you are my go-to girl! What is this?!

Not a lake but a wetland area

Keepin' ya busy today Ann! All I know is I like the purple color :)...oh, and that movie "The Color Purple" too :)

Not too sure how far the trails go because it was way too hot to check out much but looks like a winter exploration project :)

It felt a whole lot cooler here by the water and there were lots of birds chirping away!

Gosh, I really don't know much...no idea what the flowers are nor the bird!

Meanwhile, back at the hacienda....there sits Stanley (my, "not my cat", cat that has adopted us I guess at least sometimes and who I nicknamed as Stanley now), awaiting his dinner while lounging in HIS chair.

Max was busy asking Thunder Kitty if he could have this dance once we got home :) . He was inside and dying to go outside when I got home and didn't have to potty or anything...think he just wanted to see his Thunder Kitty :) 

Have a beautiful today and stay cool!

Introducing Stanley...Our Backyard Visitor


Quite some time ago this Cat started coming around the backyard. Thunder Kitty thought he looked like he needed to talk and could use a friend, so one day she invited him to lunch. She was up-front with him and explained that she was just interested in being friendsIt was a bit too personal to get into the fact that she had a little operation (Oh, great doctor by the way-Think Mom calls him Dr. SNAP or something), and isn't interested in having a family; after all she IS a career Kitty with a full-time position as Bodyguard to a certain long-legged Dog who shall remain nameless. 


One day Thunder Kitty told me I was embarrassing her by calling him "kitty"...call him Stanley she said, he IS a male ya know! Thunder also informed me that Stanley had secured employment as a Food Critic at Backyarder Mooch Food Magazine. 


Stanley rated the Dry Cuisine at La Mom's Backyard...2 paws down but stated that the Tuna Al La Can was, (and I quote), "a brilliant culinary masterpiece"!


During this same visit, a fellow patron was appalled at Stanley's table manners and immediately complained to the Maitre d'! Napkin on your lap, don't chew with your mouth open....come on "Mr. Food Critique"!

I hated to have to ask for the Manager and embarrass the Cat but Jeez Wiz!

Ok, I need to just calm down now and
breathe like my Yoga instructor teaches me!



Remember....SMILE, BREATHE
and 

Keep Coming Back
for The Latest Adventures of Max
and his buddies!
