It was fascinating to watch this little guy work. I looked forward to seeing him each morning and finally decided to take a look at his progress. Much to my surprise...the nest was complete...in tact...and ready to go...yet, no bird. Hmmm...wonder what happened?

The following day, I noticed Mr. Wren AGAIN tearing apart my coconut based hanging basket but flying a different direction. I thought..."Okay...I am going to find out what's going on here." I crept around the corner and watched him as he flew under our covered patio and up onto the ledge. There sat yet another nest...almost complete. I also saw some lint from our dryer that he must have retrieved from our dryer vent and a few pieces of string.

I called over to my husband who was working in the garden and pointed out the two nests that the wren had made.

I asked, "I wonder why he made two nests. Maybe he has two wives or he's a swinger wren."

Larry said, "No...he just has the one wife."

"How in the world do you know that???"

"Because a male wren will make up to five nests for his 'wife' and let her choose which one she wants to lay her eggs in."

"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeally. Wow...if only men were wrens".

Just think of how many more houses we could sell in a year. Something to think about...

Btw...the picture you see here is of the wren outside my office window. If I were a wren...I'd marry him.

There's not much in Bergheim...or at least in what most think Bergheim is. I legally live in Boerne, TX...but am closer to what most refer as Bergheim. And...when I refer to Bergheim...I am thinking of the corner of Highway 46 and 3351. Not much there...a Valero station, Taquitos, a hair salon, Bergheim Cellars, the Bergheim General Store...and of course, O'Briens.

My first exposure to O'Briens was one of my first dates with my now husband, Larry. We were looking for homes for me to rent when we decided to take a break and go eat. I was immediately charmed by the location of O'Briens...especially with the Bergheim General Store right across the street. "So, is this it?", I asked Larry? He replied, "Pretty much...". He then went on to tell me that O"Briens had once been the site of a major motion picture...the title which escapes me now.

I don't know if I loved the food at O'Briens because I was in the mushy, sappy stage of my relationship with Larry or if it truly was great food. Over the past two years, however, I have come to realize that the food was great...but better yet was the hometown feel of the restaurant itself. There were few nites we were there that Tim and Becky O'Brien, the owners, weren't there as well. There were also few times we were there that they didn't stop by our table to thank us for coming in.

My favorite part of their menu...believe it or not...is the jalapeno corn bread they serve while you are waiting on your food. It definitely has a kick to it...but goes great with the Cosmopolitan I usually order from the bar. Btw...the bartender (crum...I can't remember his name...sorry)...is amazing. I have never had a bad drink when he made it.

O'Briens is a great restaurant. It's worth the drive. You may come for the award winning menu...but you will return for the atmosphere and the feeling that you're not just another customer. Take a look...take the drive. O'Briens....848 Highway 46...Bergheim, TX.
