Thursday was the most beautiful day at the ranch.
The sky was bright blue with wisps of clouds along the horizon, and always with a breeze to keep me cool. Nothing dramatic occurred during the day, just the normal chores of feeding the fish and giving the cattle their treats. I did clean out the garage at the ranch house, and while sweeping and pitching wondered how attics and garages always fill up with stuff. A person has the garage or attic all organized and six months later the place is full again. How does this happen? Anyway, the garage at the ranch is now clean and orderly. In the garage we have a gun safe. The combination is so complicated that the lock never gets locked, and our neighbor Robbie thinks it is a safety hazard, so in the morning, a locksmith from Kerrville came out to fix the lock so we now can open the darn thing without spending 21 steps. Now everyone is happy. I walked twice both morning and afternoon and saw several cardinals but only one vermilion flycatcher. Usually it is reversed. And as Friday we go to the lake, I did the laundry and changed the beds. It seems silly to say, but with the life we live, knowing when to change the bed gets confusing. I guess I need a better system.
Thursday evening we ate at The Bavarian Inn in Fredericksberg, with our friends Loren and Royce-Ann. It was lots of fun seeing them again and catching up with their lives. The renovation of their old house is coming along very well. Perhaps they will be able to spend Christmas 2008 in their new/old home. People here live a long time, and they are involved with elderly parents to assist. Not an easy thing at all. One piece of German chocolate cake was shared by all four of us. It was wonderful, as was the whole meal. I don't recall that the food was a good the last time, but perhaps I am getting used to Texas food.
Temperature of eighty degrees in the day, and sixty five degrees at night certainly makes for a wonderful climate.
