So, this is what's been going on lately.
On Friday, the 9th, we checked out of our hotel and went to HEB where we spent PLENTY of money buying enough groceries to last us a whole week out at the lake house. Of course the day was SO hot but fortunately we had our ice chest filled with ice from the hotel where we could put some of our cold stuff. From HEB, we drove out to Helotes and dropped by our friends house to get the keys and directions to the lake house. That went fairly quickly and soon we were on our way. It's a good long drive even from Helotes to get to this house. The directions were good and we found the house quickly, unloaded a few things and the groceries from the car and then got to work cleaning up the place a little bit.
We were pleasantly surprised to see that the level of the water in the lake was still very decent behind their house, but in other areas, the lake has totally dried up.
On the 10th, John and Angie came out, along with the owners of the house who came a little later, so we had company all weekend. It was a lot of fun having everyone here. John and Angie left on in the late afternoon on Sunday. Sunday evening, Guillermo and I took a long walk up the road around here and we saw a fox, a jack rabbit, several deer and plenty of the usual birds of the area. So, that was a good walk!
The owners left in the late morning on Monday so we are now again by ourselves here. We cleaned up the place again and took everything else out of our car so that we can have everything in a place to easily see what needs to go with us to Europe, what goes to storage and what can just be stored in the car.
Wow! Beautiful!! I'm surprised at how much water is still in the lake. Over here the lakes are way down and the boat launches are out of water.

Well, it's kind of the same here. The houses on the opposite side of the street face an empty cove. The houses on this side of the street are lucky that there is still so much water. Medina Lake is 41 feet low.
