We spent last weekend at my parents' lakehouse near Alba. It had been a few years since our last visit but I found it comforting to discover that East Texas is still operating in the usual manner. Front yards are still used for storage, goats are still used for lawn maintenance, and the American flag is still available with or without a portrait of Elvis screen printed on it. We tried to take a daily bike ride to compensate for all the eating and spent plenty of time napping, reading, and fishing.
Breakfast of champions (on vacay, that is)

Dad and David at the dairy
The general store
Banana ice box pie at Tiffany's
At this house, fishing poles are like shoes -- you need a different one for every occasion
David's happy hour
My happy hour
Lamb kebabs and Greek orzo
Regulating mom's excessive pepper usage
The finished product
Dinner on the patio; minutes before the mosquitos struck and forced us inside
