     Just another great day here in Texas to start with. Another very nice warm night and great sleep.
     So nice to get out for an early walkabout at 7:30 and the sun was rising being out in shorts. This being St. Patricks day I was going to wear something green. But no luck, no green. Was going to make our corned beef and cabbage as well. But changed our minds, We have a small corned beef in the fridge but no hurry to cook it, We can enjoy that anytime.
      Did manage a few more walkabouts the area and down by the creek enjoying this wonderful warm weather.

        Down by the river to the east end of the park to catch a nice sunriseThen a walkabout the park enjoying this wonderful warm sunny morning.

love all the spring blossoms

here is a nice tricked out truck for Bill and Patsy

      A bit later I enjoyed a nice walkabout along the trails of Squaw Creek river. So peaceful and scenic, just the birds in the trees and water going over the small rapids.

         After a light lunch I did a drive about town, just because I could checking it out again, it's been a few years. And a few houses from way back that are made with the stone and petrified wood from the area. Most of these still occupied.

       Then f=down around the town square past the Hollywood sign.

Sheriff's office 

     Into the square this pavilion had this dinosaur foot print  that was laid into this structure way back when. You can read about it below on this sign. Glen Rose is Famous for these dinosaur prints apparantly the best in the world.

this is the pavillion

stone and petrified wood

love this water fountain in the shape if the Texas Star

    I took a lot more pics , will post them tomorrow, Got back home and we enjoyed reading outside for most of the afternoon was 85 F under cloudy skies but by 3:30 temperature dropped to 70 F and a few sprinkles.
      In these areas at this time of year with some very hot weather, there can be storm warnings, after all we are in "Tornado Alley" and have been through here many times over the years. Just never know what the weather will bring.
      The manager Renea drove through telling us the washrooms are secure and we can park our vehicles(cars) under the band shelter to protect from hail damage if we choose. Well it filled up quickly and many people packed up and left the park.

vehicles under the shelter in case of hail

       We just watch the weather closely incase we need to find shelter. We did have some wind and rain but nothing major, in the meantime I whipped up supper, Was gonna use our Weber Q , but not in the wind and rain. No problem an easy meal so a fry pan works, a couple of our garlic turkey sausage from home and bacon wrapped fresh asparagus to go wit our salad.

quick, easy and so tasty

so tasty and the asparagus excellent

     After supper no major storms so we walked over to the lodge to hear Lamar sing  (of Renea and Lamar) for and hour or so. He is very good and we enjoyed his show. So nice to see him again.

Lamar as we know him

      What a fun time we had chatted with a nice couple from Michigan  and Lamar as well, home shortly after 7 pm finish up this posting and soon call it a night after a great day. A bit more rain but nothing to worry about now. We know where to go for shelter and they have sirens if there is an issue. We are used to this after all the years so be prepared is all we can do.
      That was our fun day here in Glen Rose Texas hope y'all had a great day as well.
Thanks for stopping on by.

      Just more amazing weather we are having here. windows open last night for sleeping  and was 66 f at 5 am, what's not to love about that?
      Nice early walkabout around the resort and checked out the golf course for a nice view over the greens. Even spotted a few spring flowers along the way.

golf course looks inviting 

    Back in January  of this year a tornado came through this area and did some damage that they are still repairing. A few trees and even one trailer here got hit.

oops..

      Then I whipped into town for a few food stuffs for tonight's supper. On the way back stopped to see the horses on the lane way in here. So nice to see them grazing so peacefully.

      Soon time for lunch, I finished the rest of the chicken noodle I made the other day, oh so tasty.

lunch today

      This was our skies most of the day but still pretty nice  got to 84 f with a SE wind behind our coach nothing we can't handle, Sure beats the snow storms back home.

       We did enjoy a few hours enjoying our e-readers outside, very comfortable. Then a short drive about this resort to check out some of the more permanent  sites that are here,  So many of them in a different area.

RV shelters

even more horses  in pasture back there

    We stopped by the clubhouse just to check it our, pretty nice with a pool table and nice library as well.

another victim of the tornado 

we have new neighbours , a nice couple we chatted with
for a bit

           Now being it is St. Patrick's day we had a corned beef to cook up. Another nice treat. Corned Beef with cabbage,carrots and potatoes.  Threw all that in our slow cooker (cause we have electricity )  Added some fresh garlic covered all with water, added the spice packet and turned on high for about 5 hours, Cabbage added for the last hour.

my antique slow cooker still does the trick

      That was the whole thing and done to perfection. Was gonna do on our Weber Q again but decided to try this just cause we could.

all done and smells wonderful
left overs for sure

not that is a tasty Corned Beef and Cabbage supper.
perfect for St' Patrick's Day ,
no green beer though, sorry

a nice Texassunset

     After a perfect relaxing day we enjoyed more reading outside in this amazing weather , even some walkabouts and enjoying a nice sunset at about 7:30 then time to head inside  just after 8 pm. Yup spring is here and soon summer time.
     Glad that y'all dropped by and hope your spring day was wonderful too !
