For a vegetarian I seem to have a hard time resisting barb-b-q.  We went down to Driftwood from Austin today (about 15 minutes) to one of the coolest places I have seen in Texas.</p>

<p>It was a river/creek that flowed through an amazing ranch.campground where they&#8217;ve been hosting the   <a title="Bluegrass Fest" href="http://http//www.oldsettlersmusicfest.org/" target="_blank"> &#8220;Old Settler&#8217;s Bluegrass Festival&#8221;</a> for a couple of centuries now.  We saw Ralph Stanley of the Stanley brothers and Marty Stuart, two great performers with amazing bands.  Cella had a blast.

We jumped in the creek-river together, which was cold. Maybe if I were younger I might have just jumped in naked and gotten arrested.  But you know some times with age we learn a few things, like wet jeans are better than over-nights in the county jail.  We had so much fund.  She didn&#8217;t want to jump, so I had to jump in first and then let her jump onto me.</p>

<p>Renee got to sit from the comfort of the granite (I think that&#8217;s what it was) sidelines and take pictures with her battery-hog Sony Digicam.</p>

<p>We rushed out to Target just before we went to pick up folding Captain&#8217;s chairs (13$ each, nice) and Cella grabbed some playmobile and coloring books and off we went.</p>

<p>We had tiny argument over whether we should just decide to camp, but in the end I think we were all glad to come home (like I said it was only 15 minutes) with the full moon over our heads and crawl into bed after a fantastic Saturday at the campgrounds festival scene.</p>
