Lady cleared a plate of chicken whilst our back was turned once -- didn't

We have FIREFLIES!!! Woo Woo!
Not a lot -- probably less than 10 were doing their thing in the back
yard last night; but when one is from the dry dry fireflyless West, this
is REALLY cool!!!!
Reid says there are hundreds and hundreds over by Bastrop State Park --
we may have to go camping.
But FIREFLIES!!!!
In our own back yard!!!

tres cool! tygress
