Another Day in Paradise Monday March 19, 2012


Today is Monday here in east Texas. Yesterday whizzed by so as to hardly even notice its coming and going. However, it stayed here long enough for us to enjoy some beautiful weather, to lay in the clover, to soak up the sunshine, and to watch the puffy clouds drift by. In particular, the pups really enjoyed the day. The figured out very quickly that they could relax in the clover with the cool ground and the warm sun creating a perfect balance of comfort.

We are still here in Lone Star Texas, about 2 hours east of Dallas. East Texas is a beautiful area with rolling hills, green grass and beautiful trees. Lone Star is a small town with population of about 1600 really nice people (and from what I hear, a couple of old grouches). Lone Star has one stop light, two gas stations, one grocery store and 8 baptist churches. Linda and I attended South Union Missionary Baptist Church yesterday then spent the rest of the day relaxing and catching up on sleep lost during the mad rush through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and into Texas the other day.




Last night our hosts here at Scenic View Campground

invited us to dinner at a local mexican restaurant and we dined on enchiladas, tortillas and other tasty cuisine along with some other friends. A good time was had by all.


Today, being Monday, we had few plans, especially since the weather forecast was for strong winds and heavy rain. So far (at 3:30) we have had some breezes, a couple of sprinkles, and some clouds, but mostly blue skies and sun. Once again we spent the day relaxing and recharging our batteries.

Did the Mxican restaurant have the green salsa. I think it is made with guacamole... very runny

No green salsa here, just some really good red stuff.
