Nice Weekend

Well, we have had a busy and tiring weekend, but it was very nice.
Saturday we rode to Smithville for a biker rally they had. It was the first rally we have gone to and not exactly what I was expecting. But then again we were not there at night time when I assume everyone gets the drunkest and roudiest. It was really very tame while we were there. There are so many different kinds of bikers! It was a great place for a people watcher to just set back and speculate about everyone else that was there.
The weather was awesome! It was the first 90 degree day of the year and that was perfect for riding. Before it got to late, we rode on to Rockdale and spent the night in an old restored motel there that Geoff told me about, The Rainbow Courts Motel. It was also very nice.
The ride back home this morning was not so nice. The wind was horrible and the temp was on the cold side. I did buy me a new leather jacket at the rally and it was nice having it on the ride.
When we got home Tim was here working on the wall in our bedroom that was rotting away. Darryl helped him finish it up. Now we need to plan a weekend to piant the house!!

He's Home!!

DJ made it home today. He flew in about 4:00 PM. He really seems to be OK. We will have to see what the docs say when we get to see them in a week and a half. He has not changed a bit. I know he has only been gone a month, but it feels like much longer and I really have missed him.

Thursday

DJ should be on his way home on Thursday. We don't know exactly when he will be here, but he is supposed to leave there sometime on Thursday. He is coming home a little worse than when he left. Besides the messed up shoulder, he also now has a broken hand. Go figure. I am just going to be glad to see him again. I have really missed him.

Nothing much new to report other than that. Darryl is out on a big fire in Blanco County right now and he will probably be there most of the night.

Nice Weekend

Yesterday was a beautiful day!! Darryl and I went for a MC ride up 1431 past Turkey Bend to a road named Cow Creek. Grandma Jean had told us about how pretty a drive it was and she was right. You follow a beautiful creek for about 7 miles or so, and then end up on another road that winds back around to 1431. Then we took 281 all the way up to Blanco. It was a great day for a ride.

Then last night I went to see Fools Gold with Martha. It was a good movie, it just could have told the story in about 20 mins less time and it would have been a better movie.

Now today, I think I am just going to have a relaxing day around the house. I am going to do laundry, read my book, maybe watch a little TV and if it warms up enough this afternoon before the cold front hits I might work in my gardens for a while. It is about all Grandma Duffy can do to keep up with her own, so mine have gotten pretty grown over. But I hope to clean them out and get them looking as nice as she used to keep them.

Darryl is up at the fire hall. They have some cleanup work to do as they are going to use the fire hall as the place to vote this year.

DJ called again yesterday and he should be home on Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. We don't have the details yet, but I will keep you posted.
