Another fun filled week...busy and fun!! Tuesday we helped the TPWD biologist construct new fish beds. They have Inks Lake lowered for cleaning so this is a perfect time for working on fish habitat. Then on to Georgetown for dinner with Ryan....he got a Gold Pass at school so PaPa and Grammy celebrated with him.
Wednesday we helped host a going away luncheon for one of our rangers and his wife. Eric has accepted a new position at Eisenhower State Park. Good luck and best wishes Eric and Amanda.
The rest of the week was spent working on trails. Starting to gear up for the spring and summer season.
Thursday evening we had dinner with Casey and Mandy (poor Todd was home sick). Picked up mucho boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Hope all who ordered still want them....don't want to be forced to eat all those Thin Mints.
Tonight Mike is taking his motorcycle class. Even tho we only have a 250cc scooter in TX it requires a motorcycle license. To get the license, you have to take a motorcycle class....should be so much fun!!!

January 24, 2011
We are still at Inks Lake State Park, Burnet, TX. We were originally scheduled to be here 11/10 thru 2/11 but circumstances led us to extend our stay thru April. As always, this is a fun place to work with GREAT staff and other volunteers. So far this year we have been mainly working in maintenance. Mike has been an electrician and a carpenter, while I have been painting signs and "other duties as needed".
Being close to family is one of the main reasons for volunteering at Inks Lake. We got to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with the kids and grandkids. Tim made it home from Cuba for Christmas.....so very blessed!!! All of the grandkids and myself took off our shoes to see who is taller....1st place goes to Tyler (14). All 3 of the ten year olds will be taller than me before too long. Why do they think that is so funny. Also spent Christmas with most of the Lewis family...nice.
