Oct 5,6 2023 Canyon Lake and Wimberley

Thursday morning Cooper and I just got our walk in around 5:00 am before the rains came. It stormed pretty good for awhile. They really needed the rain here. Once it slowed down to just a drizzle I put the awning out and we sat by the firepit untill the sun came up. There is a burn ban so no open wood fires are allowed. We did not do much of anything today as it drizzled until about 1:00 . It was just a day to chill out.  Friday morning was much nicer.  I cooked breakfast outside and we just visited. Around 10 we headed to Wimberley.  Susan and Belinda went to a quilt shop there , Jamie and I just waited patiently out front sitting in a little patio area. The weather was really nice.  After that we went to the Wimberley Cafe and had lunch. We then headed down to a little wine tasting that was close by. None of us were to impressed by there wine. We loaded up up and headed home . We had a nice evening outside just chilling.

October 4, 2023 Headed to Canyon Lake

Usually I have the truck hooked up and ready to roll the evening before we leave on a trip. This time that didn"t happen as it rained most of the evening.  So on Wednesday morning I got up early and loaded the trailer and got hooked up. Luckily it wasn"t raining. We are headed to Potter Creek on Canyon Lake. We are meeting friends there. Our first stop was in Baytown so Susan could make her Rheumatologists appointment. It was a little challenging dropping her off with the trailer hooked up. I went and parked in the Hobby Lobby parking lot untill she was finished. We left about 11 from there. We hit rain from downtown Houston till past Katy.  We stopped for lunch in Columbus at Mikeska"s BBQ.  Its one of our normal spots to stop at because they have big truck parking and its also pretty good. After that I topped off the truck and headed on . We arrived at Potter Creek about 3:35. Jamie & Belinda got there about five minutes later. We got unhoooked and set up. After relaxing a little bit we headed to Wimberly to a Pizza/Beer Garden for supper. It was a nice evening. We got home about 8 and I crashed for the night.
