We left home at 7:45 am to get an early start for our trip to Cedar Park. We wanted to avoid I-35 traffic as it was really bad last time we went that way so we took back roads to go past Cleburne down to Lampasas. Just before Cleburne got into traffic backed up for miles due to road construction work. Turned around, after sitting there and not going anywhere for a long time, went to Cleburne & took Hwy 174 to Meridian, then Hwy 22 to Hamilton and 281 on to Lampasas.
We had a good visit with sons, Mike & Jay and daughter-in- law, Rosario and a grandson, Todd thru the week. It is so nice to have our own little apartment there (5th wheel). And our daughter-in-law is a great cook! We also went thrift store shopping and to garage sales. Finished up a bit of electrical work and tried to stabilize a double gate but it is badly warped and needs replacing. The girls all had a great time. I think Coco was glad to get back home but when we left, she thought she was goiing with us. We kept her for a couple of weeks and I know she will miss our Daisy and Darlin' for awhile. The are so close in size- Daisy at 8 lbs, Coco at 9 lbs and Darlin' at 10 lbs. Such good little dogs.
The night before we left, another grandson came with his wife (Russ & Jessica) and our three great grandchildren (Amorina, Ryan & Brianna). They are growing so fast! I got good pictures of all but Brianna- camera did not cooperate. :(
We put up a fence for Mike (with some help from Jay) across the back of his yard. It was a challenge between the heat, humidity, mosquitos and the slope of the yard. We think it turned out nice and he likes it as well. He is trying to get several things done in preparation for the return from Bulgaria of Lili and Kalina (our daughter-in-law and granddaughter).
This was a challenge with the slope on that side.
Had to show his "Rambo" look!!
It was a good week. We worked hard but felt good about what we accomplished.
And thanks again for the fence work. Fence and gate looks great!
