The best is yet to come!

I have thoroughly enjoyed each stage of my life, but I've got to say that these mid-life years are really, really nice. Thanks for stopping by to check on this Austin Nana. I like the real thing, though, so come on! Drop by for a coffee date with me sometime soon.

Lake Tawakoni State Park



 When you are out camping...you usually DO forget something important... I had to run into Brookshire Brothers (grocery store) in Wills Point, TX near the park to pick up  few things.




Orange juice, OFF spray, Orange cinnamon rolls, and what started as a list of 3 items quickly added up to enough to be billed for about $52. How does that happen?





The sweet little clerk was kind enough to ask if I had a Brookshire's card. I replied, "no, I don't..."




Thinking I had simply misplaced it, she offered to look it up for me by telephone number.



I told her, "I really just don't have one." Since she looked so astonished, I felt like I needed to offer an explanation.



"I'm from Austin and we don't have a Brookshire's there." She said something to the effect of, "Are you sure?? Brookshire's is everywhere." All this with a sweet Texan accent. (Which I DON'T have)




Wills Point is just about 10 minutes away from our campsite and it is really a busy little town. William and I worked outside the Bruce and Human Pharmacy and Christian Bookstore with wifi service almost all day. It sits on a busy corner of a red bricked little main street with very old brick buildings. Most of them have signs painted directly onto the brick...like Rose Dry Goods.




When we got 'home' to the R Pod, the weather was so nice, I got out and experimented with my camera. This Texas spring has really been beautiful.
