Bat Watching!

 

Next Stop Bat Watching in Austin!

Apparently, watching Mexican Free-tailed bats fly from the Congress Avenue Bridge is something you have to experience. At first, I wasn’t too thrilled to watch bats, but it proved to be very relaxing. There was a cool, nightly breeze and the bats were many, but they didn’t fly towards you, they just flew up and away looking for food. You knew they were bats, but from a distance you couldn’t see their features very clearly, so they didn’t gross you out. I thought I might be grossed out by their ugliness but wasn’t. Several people hopped on a boat to see them flying from under the bridge. The bats flying out in formation was spectacular to see. Unfortunately, since it was almost dark, I don't have a good picture of the bats flying out.

Amazingly, I enjoyed it and glad that I was able to watch the bats fly out at sunset.  I totally recommend it.

Reflecting on childhood dream of being a Ninja! LOL!

  Ninja, is what I want to be when I grow up! LOL!  "What do you want to be when you grow up Belle?" I had always wanted to be a Mom, but for some reason that wasn't an acceptable answer to the above question at school. It should of been. But that's another post.  So, since being a mom wasn't acceptable to teachers, I would always say a Ninja. For several years I had a black Ninja costume that I would wear for Halloween! Eventually the costume didn't fit right anymore! I would tell people as a child I wanted to be Ninja because I wanted to somehow fight for Justice, similar to a superhero and ninja legends are all I knew.  My memories of being a Ninja resurfaced as my granddaughter ends her year at  taekwondo. Great Job! on your Belt Test Olive!!!! My husband, Son and Daughter all took taekwondo lessons at some point in their lives! Wow, I can't believe my granddaughter enjoys taekwondo. Great Job!

  Mommy Got!  I went to the store and there were several signs out selling items for Mother's Day. So what do Mother's want for Mother's Day? Mommy Got! Is a song written by my granddaughter and one of the best Mother's Day gifts ever gifted to me! for Mother's Day!  Granddaughter Working on Song My granddaughter, Olive has a beautiful voice, but her mom (born deaf) is now tone deaf has a not-so-great singing voice to most. However, Olive loves the sound of her mom's voice. Olive heard that  one day everyone in Heaven will sing praises to the Lord. So, her mom's voice will surely add to the beautiful melody of the songs in Heaven, right?  But could her mom's voice add to the beauty of songs now?  After hearing   KB's Song 10K , Olive became inspired to write a song where she would incorporate singing with talking (rap) for her mom like KB. Olive, wrote a song she could sing with her mom!  together!  My Granddaughter was so excited she introduced th
