July 30 Piddling Around

Thursday morning we decided to make a short road trip. Susan wanted to go to a quilt shop in Blanco. We decided to eat breakfast there at one of my favorite spots , The Chess Club.  As usual it was good eating. We went to the quilt shop afterwards but they didn"t have the fabric Susan was looking for. We left there and went to Canyon City to Brookshires to restock on a few things. We got back home about 12:30. We watched a movie and then both took naps. The temperature hit about 97 for a high so we headed to the water and floated a little while. It sure felt good. A lot of trailers have moved out but I expect it to fill back up tomorrow. For supper I grilled shrimp and rice and we sat out till about 8:00.  Friday morning it was a little warmer than it has been, just a slight breeze blowing. After breakfast we decided to do the dreaded chore of washing clothes. We headed to Blanco and used the laundromat there. When we finished we headed to New Braunfels to Hobby Lobby. I needed some foam to plug into the skylight in shower to keep the heat out. We came back thru River Road. There were some folks on the river tubing ( water low) but the rafting and tubing places closed.  I usually like to go to Gruene Hall during the day on Saturday and Sunday to hear the local folks play but it is closed also. None of the winerys I wanted to go to were open for tasting, a few that had outdoor patios were able to offer tasting.  I wanted to got to Enchanted Rock but they were booked thru Aug 6 ( reservations only ).  This virus has tried to screw my trip up. When we got back to the trailer we watched a movie.  A lot of trailers started moving in at check in time so I bet it will be full by dark.  We had a pretty good storm rill in with wind and lightning (much needed rain here). No cooking outside tonight.
