Sorry it’s been a quiet week in here. Last week my divorce from my ex-husband became final. 4 days later he called to tell me it was time to put our beagle to sleep. She had lost all control of her bladder and her health was failing. After losing Casper at the end of JanuaryContinue reading “Catching Up”

We’ve been planning for a few days to have a day “date” to McKinney Falls State Park. Weather watching was in full effect but it still sprinkled on us for most of the visit this morning. We had packed a picnic of some cheeses and crackers, summer sausage and fruits along with some boiled eggsContinue reading “Rainy Day “Hike””

Yesterday afternoon with Michael’s help we did a poured painting on stream (pic of the finished product to follow). This was an acrylic painting on canvas. Basically you pour some paint on the canvas and move it around with your hands shifting the paint making shapes, lines etc with the paint. It’s actually a reallyContinue reading “Artwork and Accomplishments”

Doc’s Drive-in located in Buda – it’s about 20 minutes from us – is a cute little 2 screen drive in movie theater.

Some rain moved in with a cool front and we actually were able to have the windows open yesterday.

We enjoyed getting ideas of things for the house and RV as well as sharing our likes and dislikes in decorating as well. We did leftovers for dinner –Continue reading “Labor Day Adventures”

It’s been a great Saturday relaxing and enjoying a cooler day here in Texas. I enjoyed streaming on Twitch while gaming with some friends and celebrating a friend’s birthday. Michael actually put the hammock up in the backyard today and was able to sit out and enjoy it while listening to an audio book. TonightContinue reading “Taco Saturday”

Today we woke to thunder continuously and a lovely rain for a few hours this morning. In a city that has been very, very dry the rain is welcoming to a northerner like me. After a bit of a morning stream for me and a massage for Michael we brunched at one of our favoriteContinue reading “Rainy Days and French Bistro for Brunch”

Some days the best laid plans go to heck in a hand basket. This week due to some unforeseen circumstances we have changed some of our travel plans for the rest of the year. We are taking the time to re-evaluate our plans and taking care of some of the normal mundane things we needContinue reading “Sometimes The Best Laid Plans…”

Part of that was brought on by a necessity to quarantine in the early days of the Covid virus. Since the beginning of March we’ve camped at 4 TexasContinue reading “Welcome”
