May 8, 2014 (17th Day)

It was a relief that we had a good night's sleep at Patty's house.  Breakfast was served.  Erwin went with Paul to pick blackberries in their backyard.  They got about 3 quarts.

We all sat down to chat for a while before heading out to sightsee, shop, etc.  

We wanted to see and take pictures of longhorns, so Patty and Paul took us to FM 1097 and there were several nice longhorns.  Three of them were curious that they came up to the fence to check Edith out. Many times Erwin would watch Edith walk close to the animals without scaring them and sometimes they even come to her like these three! Paul was amazed!

We went to another ranch on FM 149, but there were none.  Tried another ranch on FM 1488, found some but they were too far away.

We stopped at RND Rustic Furniture, a huge Western store.  They had so many beautiful stuff, and if we were into Western decor this is the place we would buy stuff from, but they would cost us an arm and a leg! We like our arms and legs!

The store does not allow photography inside the store, so Edith did not take any :-(

We had lumch at one of Patty and Paul's favorite lunch stop: Texas Taco.  It was good.

Next stop was to pick up ribeye steaks at Ainsworth Meat Market that will be for our supper this evening. 

Paul showed us the town before heading to his daughter Pamela's house.  It was good to see Pamela again. She and her family moved back to Texas from Singapore where they lived for 4 years.

We went back to Patty's house, relaxed a bit while Paul grilled the steaks. While he and Patty were busy getting the supper ready Edith went outside on the deck waiting for hummingbirds to show up. They did.

The supper was good and plentiful. We all spent the night chatting our heads off before retiring for the night
