It’s Tuesday and we started the day out in Livingston with 148 miles to go before reaching Austin. I must say it was 148 of the most beautiful miles I have seen in a long time. Mother Nature provided us with her artwork in the form of Black-eyed Susan’s, Queen Anne’s Lace, Indian Paintbrushes and Bluebonnets. Yellow, white, orange and blue colored the road sides and fields. All in their glory and at their peak like they were welcoming us back to Texas. The day was overcast but comfortable. Most of the trip today was on the back country roads. I tried to take pictures of the beautiful wildflowers and some other things but most of the pictures are fuzzy. It’s not always easy to get a decent photograph thru a windshield while going 70mph, especially when it is a little drizzly. I did the best I could. We finally met up with Jamie tonight. It was so wonderful seeing her again. Millenni and Bella finally got to meet but only got to spend a few minutes sniffing each other out before we left to go out to dinner. We are camping at a park in Georgetown, north of Austin. When we got back to the RV tonight it was evident there had been a windstorm while we were gone. Our site is right on the lake. I first noticed that our awning was closed and knew David had opened it before we left. Then I saw the ladder was on the carpet out front and our chairs were missing. A little investigation showed the chairs were folded and stacked under the RV. Our nice neighbor had come over and taken care of everything in our absence. HOW NICE! He said the wind storm hit quickly and everything was blowing away so he came over and secured everything for us. Unfortunately our satellite dish had blown over and received some damage. Hope it will still work! We have run into the nicest people while camping. That man could have easily let our things blow away and not cared but instead he came over and took care of everything for us while we were gone. We are exhausted now so I probably won’t post this until morning. I still need to look thru the pictures and decide which ones to post am just too tired tonight. Driving to Jamie’s apartment tonight I was once again made aware of just how beautiful it is here in the Austin area. Debbie, I bought the Texas magnet you wanted.
