Friday
Welcome, family and friends to our daily journal. Share it with your friends. It is a way of remembrance for us and a point of connection for you.
A truly beautiful morning.
Crystal blue skies this morning with haze on the horizon.
- Powdered eggs and pancakes from a just-add-water mix. Yes we need some perishable foods. I’ve ordered eggs, milk, bacon, cheese, and a few other items. We’ll get them between 11 & 12 today. Also picking up prescriptions at same time.
- Ella worked at unpacking, sorting, and finding a place for her clothes that came out of the Iowa RV.
- I spent the morning combining and repackaging dry goods (flour, sugar, various beans, etc.) This left us with a lot of empty Gladware containers.
- Together we did dishes. I washed. She dried.
- We did some traveling today. We started with the 18 mile trip to Wal-Mart for groceries and meds. While there, we got a message that John and Dawn were in Liberty Hill and eating at “Hell or High Water Brewery”, a micro brewery and eatery.
- As soon as we were done at Wal-Mart, we headed back to our RV.
- In the meantime, John and Dawn explored some of the slights in Liberty Hill.
- After they arrived at or trailer, the four of us went to Lampasses. Their navigation system took them on some backroads that I had never seen before.
- In Lampasses we stopped and got a tour of an apartment.
- Then we went down to Burnet on the way to the highland lakes area.
- From there we headed toward Kingsland, with a stopover at the Llano Slab.
- We then drove past what is left of Granite Mountain, a solid dome of pink granite.
- Then through Marble Falls. The falls, for which the town its named, are no longer visible because they are under Lake L.B.J.
- We took a nice scenic drive back home, including a stop at Balcones Canyonlands Nature Preserve
- before taking John and Dawn to Dahlia’s Cafe for supper.
- Then home and an early bedtime.
God bless and g‘day.
