He comments on my blog from time to time, and I somehow didn't quite picture him in a "three piece suit", if you know what I mean. Although, maybe I might have gone with a Stetson. <br />Finding a "down home" restaurant is always the best plan for lunch.

We had a late start but managed to reach our destination a day early. Landed in the RGV about 4:30 today and relieved that the wheels have stopped turning for a while.

I took Lacy, my Standard Poodle, to the vet in Livingston (thinking it might not be as expensive as a bigger city - NOT); she has the "Poodle-ear syndrome" otherwise known as "Itchy Ears." I can usually take care of it but this time it got pretty irritable and I didn't have any antibiotic ointment. So, $120 later, she's on the mend. The other big chores for today were making a batch of spaghetti sauce, which I simmered for about 5 hours; and, I read almost a whole book .... Jeffrey Archer's "Sins of the Father." It's the second in a trilogy of novels by Archer. I read the first in a day and a half and this one will be finished tonight! Then on to the third....<br />It was surely nice for you to meet some followers; I really enjoy that, too. That was also a long drive today. Do you do all the driving or do you each take a portion? I usually like to only drive about 100-200 miles max because it's just me doin' the whole thing. More later, new friend....mary-patmps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-32778496043151582092013-12-04T21:14:01.796-05:002013-12-04T21:14:01.796-05:00Glad you had a safe trip....
