Mood:
A very welcome rest day! Last four days have been filled with beautiful sights of rolling hills with wildflowers in bloom: fields of yellow, pink, orange, & blue! No way to capture with a camera, but in my mind's eye a forever memory. The hills are not as steep, and we are due in Louisiana by Friday of this week; storms are threatening, but so far we've had cloud cover for most of the day, then some heat and humidity; understand it's probably safe to send the fleece clothing home, but not the rain gear. We got the scales out this morning: some lost as much as 18 pounds (not me), and all are feeling and looking svelte! Last Saturday in Blanco, Scott & Debbie, Kyle and Josh came to give me the "high five", and we had a great visit with supper at DQ (my new favorite place)! We did find a Starbucks in Balstrop, then rode through a beautiful park (15 miles of tree covered roads, almost no traffic) then on to LeGrange; had some wonderful mexican food in LeGrange: small place, family affair. Having a great time: the amazing part is that I'm doing it, and certainly enjoying the experience!
