Road Trip

We headed out Monday morning to take a ride into the Texas Hill Country, see a few wildflowers and eat some lunch.  We were making a quick errand to the bank along the way.  As we pull into the bank Kim gets a call.  It wasn't sounding really good from my end.  One of the resorts was calling to inquire where she was and when would she get there.  Uh oh.  They had her on the schedule for Monday and Tuesday.  She thought that her Spring Break time was over last Saturday.  The resort had several guests asking about her.  She offered to come in since we weren't very far from home but it would be at least an hour before she could get there.  They declined but they agreed for her to come in on Tuesday.  Kim was totally unaware of this scheduling.  She readily admits it may have been her fault since she was so focused on the 'two weeks' of Spring Break.  So much for a week to catch up and relax after the previous grueling weeks.

She was chagrined at this miscommunication.  This particular resort treats her better than the other and she really likes the people she deals with.  She does not want them disappointed.  

We continued on with our plans for the day.  It seems there were quite a few others that had the same plans.  Makes it really tough to get the photos you want with all the oblivious folks in your way.  Don't they gave jobs to go to?  


See what I mean?

The weather here has been pretty spectacular.  It was perfect Monday.  Cool, about 70 for a high and not a cloud in the sky.  It couldn't have been any better for our road trip.  Then Tuesday turned off soggy/damp.  Not raining just foggy /mist.  Put a 'damper' (sorry I couldn't resist the pun) my plans for yard work.  

The weed eater needed some repairs and had been in the shop.  It's now ready to go and fight the never ending battle.  Plus the oak leaves and tassels really need to get cleared out.  Guess it will have to wait til nicer weather.  That allows me to start on the leather orders I have and another trip into the maelstrom of traffic in that city to the South of me. 

Happy Trails
