Fun with Sabrina's Dogs

We were over by Mamo's today, and so was Sabrina.

She had brought her little dogs with her, and the little boy thought they were just fabulous :)

He spent quite a bit of time playing with them and making them fetch sticks and whatnot.

 

A Silky Update

Ever have a cat sleep like this?

A Trip to Leuders

We hadn't been to Leuders in a while.. and while the weather wasn't so very oppressive just yet, we took a short trip over there.

The first place we stopped at was a quarry.

I don't remember the name of it, but we just drove on in like we owned that place. LOL

Of course, there was a guy working there, and we asked permission to just be tourists.

The quarry, with its different landforms and layers of rocks, was actually quite picturesque.

The little boy hadn't gotten over his "climbing" phase, and immediately tried to climb onto all the available rocks around.

Then, we drove into Leuders proper, and it was pretty much a ghost town - no offence to the 346 people who live there..

We stopped by the Country Store to ask for directions to the Baptist Assembly, and the little boy remarked about how the font for the store was very "60s groovy".

LOL.

Our next stop was the Big Country Baptist Assembly encampment, that had its own lake, dock and water features, among other things.

MORE rock climbing.

It is nice to get away from the daily grind, even if it is really close by, just to recharge :)

Happy Memorial Day

We stopped by the Texas State Veteran's Cemetery that is located near the lake to pay our respects to the brave men and women laid to rest there.

They have a kiosk where you can put in the names of the veterans you are looking for, and out comes the results that you can a printed copy of.

We found the tombstones of The Garrett Twins as well as Peggy.

You have to be quite careful when you live out in the country...

and you are trying to fetch your mail from the mailbox, which is a waaaaaaaaaays from your actual front step.

You may just come across a snake or two on your "long" trek out there..

He had a cool checkered end-of-the-tail bit.

withOUT a rattler.
