No heading space for this one.   Things change so much I never know what I am doing.   It is 1/24 fri pm.   We got into Austin on tues pm late, had a hard time finding a place in the dark.  We ended up at a clear view dealership park.  The weather was turning cold and nasty.  Leroy got up early thurs am, said we aren't staying and we hit the road.  So sorely Austin didn't get a look or an old school chum a call.  We got into Dallas/FtWorth area area about 6pm.  We are in a place called Cowtown RV park in Aledo.  It's a ft worth suburb.  We got a really cheap rate by staying two weeks.  We wanted to be here at least two weekends.   Anyhow on the way up here we went thru Fredericksburg, Leroy wanted to see the WWII museum. I guess we stayed there before Austin.    Anyhow while he was in the museum I took the dogs out to the lady bird park we had been at before.   There I spent almost two hours with the most wonderful man and w watched birds together.   Dogs never did walk, they sat around and waited by my chair as I watched birds. This gentleman was so much help and we saw so many birds.  We had the beat chat and laughs, it was so cool.  Then he told me he really was new to bird watching and photography, but he was an expert in dragon flies.   He told me to wait and went to his car and brought me a field guide he had written and a large print of a picture he had painted.  It's beautiful.  I felt so special James Lasswell was his name.  So it was the best afternoon I have had in a long time.  So we both (Leroy and I)  had good days.   He truly enjoyed the museum, he went late one aft and early the next am.  One of the times he went I drove around, saw the town with the dogs, and found a quilt store.  It was the nicest store I have found.  It had everything, and a building for classes, and a building for retreats.  All in the cutest setting.    So I found another store Donna.   Now I will find some here.  I just enjoy the visits to the shops, being able to buy you a fat quarter is the frosting on the cake.  It is hard to find one always tho, as like this store had so much to chose from.
Anyhow we are here in the Ft Worth area and now need to get together with some people.  It was in the teens last nite when we got in and with lots of wind so we were frozen, and it was a windy hard drive for Leroy.  Today it got out into high 30's or low 40's and should start to warm up but another cold wave is coming, tho maybe not this cold.  We got ahead of the snow and ice tho, so guess it's good we didn't stay in Austin.  Pups don't like the cold as I won't walk them so far, big woose that I am.  Today we stayed around home, and of course I washed clothes and caught up.  Then we went to a roadhouse for supper.  Railroad smokehouse, a BBQ place with a live band and it was packed, and a sheriff standing at the bar.  The food was good tho!
