10 Things
After about a month hiatus I am back on the blogging train - for today anyway. We just returned from our annual trip to the Rio Frio River, my heaven on earth. The picture above is from last year. I really cannot express how much I LOVE it at the river. I'm ready to go back already. We are lucky to have a place so special to us. Our kids will have memories of the Frio trips with their Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles to fill up a lifetime. Thank you Mom and Dad for giving us and them this gift. Thanks to XBOX Wife. Be sure to visit her blog and join in on the festival of thanksgiving.

About my river
This is a picture of my paradise - the Frio River. We go every summer with my whole family, parents, sisters and husbands, my family. We definitely have a cabin full. Yes I said a cabin. They are great with plenty of room and will certainly do until I can retire and build my house there. We have been making this trip almost annually since I was in the 8th grade. (we may have gone prior to that, but I'm not sure) Our traveling party has changed over the years, but we still make it and can't wait to go back the minute we pack the cars to leave.
There is no cell phone reception. Which is wonderful, most of the time. We did miss information about a funeral one summer.
It is so beautiful there, you can just feel God's presence.
In 2002 when it flooded we almost had to cancel our trip. The first day we were there the river was closed! It is amazing to look at old pictures because the river changed so much. Water is truly a powerful force. The cabins we had stayed in the year before weren't there any more. I actually almost drowned twice that year. Kind of scary. My brother-in-law lost his wedding ring. That may have been on purpose though.
There are a very limited number of places I would rather be than at the Frio.
Anyway, if I ever find out how to do a countdown I might start counting down to this years trip.
Remember, it's all about the ball barrings.
What kind of name is Poon anyway?
