Today Oswaldo picked up Ed and I to meet another couple, and one of his brothers, to show off his place east of the city. It is only 10 minutes from my place and it was a delight.
Oswaldo is a man after my own heart with his eclectic collection of stuff and his neat array of buildings. At one time, Oswaldo owned a bar or two so he has a lot of related stuff, like swinging doors, stuffed animals, saddles, guns, owls, etc. How many guys do you know that have a tree house, pool table, bar, fountain, volleyball court, soccer pitch, and the piece-de-resistance, an operational mechanical bull??!! Oh, and we mustn't forget the English bulldog named Rocky Balboa....
From his tree house he has some gorgeous views east, north and west.
I was hoping to visit Chris and Bettye's place further east too but there was no way to get away so I will have to reserve that for another day.
NOTE that you may click on any photo for an ENLARGED VIEW.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
