💖😅 Hi, to all,
Well, another Sunday, and I like to have time to write when it is quiet. We are waiting on rain here in TX. We need it, so no complaining. I am just glad it is coming down today.
Brad is supposed to play at the outdoor patio at Guero's today but who knows, if the rain comes, they will probably cancel that.
We had dinner guests last night, Daisy and her husband, Daniel. Daisy is one of my neighbor's daughters. She is studying Bi-lingual edu. at TX STate Univ. She is so happy and works PT at James Avery in Barton Creek Mall. Her husband, is an HVAC specialist and of course, this is his busy season. They are so young, 22--and it is great to be able to visit with them, and hear of their future plans.
Always makes me reflect on our ages when we were at 5 Girl Farm. I still feel some of the same thoughts about life, and I hope I never lose my desire to do good, and spread kindness in this world, and have a good time--along the way!
I had a special treat last weekend. Bobby Arnold invited me out to see the Blue Rock Ranch and recording studio, outside of Wimberley. Great place, with a huge recording facility, and many famous people have recorded there, including Lyle Lovett, etc. The studio and house are owned by a great couple that like to give back to the community by hosting concerts, and live stream of the music, too. Bobby used to take his TX State Students there to help with their recording tech. class--and I am sure it was a great experience. It is on a ridge overlooking a small stream, and the mountains over Wimberley, there's a pool, too. Wow, it was fun to just be able to see it and enjoy the afternoon there.
I was pulling into my driveway on Sat. and saw a huge roadrunner, with a lizard in his beak. He was surprised and so was I, so I got outta the car, but then he took off with his prize. Wow, usually you don't see them in the city.
I am thinking of holding off to retire until May of 2020, since then I can have all debt paid off and also collect my bonus $$.
Let's plan a get together for early 2019, so we can plan the Costa Rica trip, O.k.? I want to get your likes/dislikes, etc. We could meet up in Dallas, or Kansas, or somewhere else....any ideas?
That's all for now, ya'll keep posting,,,

I wrote a long comment yesterday and then must have hit the wrong button because it did not come through. I envy you your quiet times outside, Karen, and hope to be able to have some opportunities for that soon myself.
ReplyDeleteI won't be retiring for a while yet. I fiddled with the grasshoppers while the ants were making their preparations so I am still making up for some lost time, although I am in better shape than I thought I would be 30 years ago LOL.
I think I have found a new apartment and will be moving soon. I will let you know my new address once I have the lease in hand.
Congrats on finding a new place, Debi! Moving is such sweet sorrow. So much work, so much fun being in a new place!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I’m so happy you’ve kept in touch with Bobby! It was GREAT to see him at the Reunion and to re-experience his unique brand of wry humor. He was so much a part of that magical time!
You guys are the best! I love keeping in touch. (Debi I haven’t figured out the mechanism for getting notices when new posts are added to this site. )
