Hey and howdy, friends and neighbors, salutations from the
MoonHouse in beautiful Austin, Texas, where the oak trees are preparing to dump
their nasty green "worms" of pollen all over every car in town.
We have survived our travel season. We spent a week in
Belize with Jerry Jeff and Susan Walker, we spent a week in Los Angeles
devouring all the glitz and glamour that we enjoy thanks to Christine's work as
Vice Chair of the National Board of Trustees of the Recording Academy, Chris
enjoyed an overnighter to Aspen complete with lobster corn dogs, and our new cat
Yoda has started venturing outdoors, losing his nice collar and tag on his very
first outing. Wow, the excitement that is our life here in Austin.
This month's photo essay is from Belize. We stay on the
island of Ambergris Caye, and it couldn't have been more relaxing. It
rained for 3 days and was sunny for 3 days. The prevailing winds arrived
and filled the house with incredible salt water breezes right of the barrier
reef. Click here to watch Chris'
film "Down In Belize". Click here for a photo
tour from Switzerland. Click here
for a ten minute video glimpse of our Swiss trip.
Thanks for making Valentine's Day at El Mercado quite special.
We're back to work. Donn's Depot this Saturday with the band, Central
Market in Austin on Friday the 8th, Camp Street Cafe in Crockett on the 29th,
Easter Sunday sunrise service at Rolke Ranch and Chris helps Jerry Jeff Walker
celebrate his birthday at the Paramount Theater and Gruene Hall.
Come see us!
Chris and Christine

"The ladies were the high scorers
at fishing...and trivial pursuit"
(Christine Albert, Susan Walker, Lisa Pankratz)

As Mr. Gage was getting out of the water by the
dock, Brad Fordham (always with his mask on)
noticed that there was a
poisonous lionfish or two hanging out by the
steps. A couple days later this nice scuba
guide came over and speared that sucker.
Ya mon! Close call.

We had to stop here and test all the local rum
creams for our coffee.
