April 8, 2013. Harper, Texas. The Double D.

It is so such a pleasure arriving at the Double D Ranch.  Even though you see rocks and more rocks, the whole place seems welcoming, especially at our home, the Top House.   There is even a bit of green grass here and there.   The first thing we did after unloading the truck upon our arrival this afternoon was to sit down and watch a video, one of the series The North and the South, followed by another episode of Murdoch Mysteries.     I am not in love with the North South movies but Ken enjoys them.  My problem is that the whole series is predictable, even down to the love stories.

But we both love our house on the top of the house.    Each of us has a comfortable chair in our bedroom and of course, we have views in both directions, so after dinner, we retreated upstairs and have been reading ever since.  It is always a surprise to see so many rocks.  Every time, we forget.

In Fredericksburg this afternoon we visited with the caterer for our 55th.   I believe that we are all ready to roll.   They will bring the first dinner on Thursday the 10th and from then on until Monday at noon, they will bring dinner and lunch for the next day.    Dinner on Monday we will eat left overs!!  Breakfast food we will just keep at the ranch with cereal, fruit and muffins along with coffee the order of the day.  My check list is complete.   For the past week, I have spoken to each person who is on tap for the event.  Everyone is ready.  Now I have one more big shopping at Costco before we can relax and enjoy ourselves.

It is always lovely being home at the ranch in Texas.
