Day 295

We got up as soon as the alarm went off this morning.  I did the pet thing and had breakfast.  Then Ellen went to Dola's to let out Teddy.  I went to the well house and added salt to the softener tank.  It was just at the "need more" level.  Then I waited for Ellen to come back.

By 9 we were on our way to Kingsland.  It was a nice drive on road that we hadn't been on before.  When we got to Kingsland the GPS led us straight to the community center.  I went to the gun show while Ellen took the dog to the adjacent park to run.  I was only at the show for a few minutes before Ellen called to say she'd hung the bumper up in a tree.

The show was small, but had some interesting things.  The prices were a little lower than in the other shows I'd been to.  I just made a quick run through because I was thinking about the bumper.  When I got outside I saw Ellen and the dog standing below the only tree in the park.  She had collected a couple of good size rocks.  It took me five throws, but I got the bumper down.  I threw it four or five times for Lucy and then we left.

We went to a park by the lake.  It was really small and the entire lakeshore was lined in a concrete wall.  There was no place for Lucy to swim.  I looked at the water and I wouldn't have let her swim anyway.

We drove back a different way to Marble Falls.  On the way we drove through another small town that had a park.  The water was just as dirty there.  I don't think Lucy will be doing any swimming for a long time.

We stopped at the pottery store in Marble Falls.  We didn't buy anything.  We didn notice that the flamingos like I bought last time were sold out.  We also ate lunch at the Dairy Queen. t was the only lace we could find with an outdoor sitting place.  There was absolutely no shade, so Lucy wasn't very comfortable.  The cement in the sitting area was too hot for her to lay down on.

We drove back the way we came, through Bee Cave.  I stopped at the post office on the way home.  The rest of the afternoon was surfing while we hid out from the heat.

The evening was movies.  My choice tonight.  A zombie movie and a weird flick about a tree hugger type that builds a bullet roff suit and starts shooting random people to hide a bank robbery.
