The days are flying by. I recall all the happy places I visited. I help
Hitty Maggie and Hitty Eleanor in their homes. Sometimes Andrea plays
his guitar in the evenings for us. The Hitty family and I enjoy the
"Mini La Porte Zoo". I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.
I help my host in cleaning the backyard. She has given me a pecan from
her tree. Hitty Audrey and I have planned a pajama party for the girls
at Hitty Eleanor's home. We went to the store to purchase plenty of
"goodies". Details later…

Woke up at 7:00 this beautiful Friday morning. Had coffee outside with
Hitty Audrey and host Sylvia. While my host was at work we prepared
for the pajama party at Hitty Eleanor's house. At 6:00 everyone started
to arrive. We had a light dinner of sandwiches and soda. We had so many
goodies: skittles, gummy bears, popcorn, fruit, and cookies. We even
baked s'mores. Yum yum. Then Hitty Hazel brought out her twister game
and oh did we have fun. We also played a game called "Mall Madness".
I ate a few too many s'mores, and drank too much soda. Was a good idea
that Hitty Eleanor reminded us to purchase Pepto Bismal! What a relief.
We stayed up playing and laughing, till the wee hours of the morning,
and then slept until noon.

The weekend was enjoyable. Met my host's mother, who came for a short
visit and learned all of my travels so far. Went out to dinner with
them. Around 8:00 PM we started cleaning the dining room. What a mess.
A little construction going on with the A/C vent, and painting of the
ceilings meant that most decorations, chickens, and roosters had to
come off the walls. Vacuum, mopping, dusting, but we did a good job.
I even helped to dust a few chickens.

Went with host to take her mother back home. Met her sister halfway
in Wharton, TX. Met at a small BBQ place called Hines. There was so
much construction in Houston that it took us an hour to get out of the
city limits. The drive back home was relaxing, as was being able to
see the stars.

I left with host and husband to Blanco, Texas. I worked hard, okay mostly
just directing the tractor. In the evening we sit on the porch, swinging
and listening to the Katydids (noisy little green insects). We went
in the morning to have breakfast at a slow pace restaurant called "Blanco
Bowling Alley." In the back you can bowl and enjoy the company
many "old timers" telling of the good 'ole days.

Received Sara's new address. Hitty Audrey and Hitty Eleanor helped me
with my packing. I have my book to read while I travel. Host Sylvia
looked up the weather report and forecast the forecast seems to be low
80s and high 40s. There will also be a Colorado Wine Testing event,
6-21 and 6-22. Can't wait to meet Sara Cole.
