Our one-pot meal was delish especially accompanied by salad and a fresh baguette last night. There are even some left overs for tonight. We went down the street for ice cream - Dave had raspberry sorbet, Russ had key lime ice cream and Cathie and I had salted caramel ice cream - after a small taste of each of the others, the salted caramel was dynamite! The girls ruled at cards last night so the tally is 4 to 3.
It was very overcast this morning, but warm. We went down to Oscar Scherer State Park and had a very long walk without a lot of bird activity. We were hoping to see eagles and scrub jays, but no luck. We also wanted to see if the very large alligator that we saw here two years ago was still hanging out, but again we missed out. We did see a Northern shrike sitting on top of a dead tree (a first for us this year), little blue heron, great egret, red-bellied woodpecker, black vulture, boat-tailed grackle, palm warbler, mottled ducks, an unidentified hawk, mourning dove, and a wood stork flying overhead. We also saw two new plants - the yellow trumpet flower and Texas blue bonnets.
We drove north to a mall to pick up some glasses that Cathie had ordered from Warby Parker before Dave and I arrived. The mall was enormous, but there were lots of upscale stores (Dotty Jo, you would have been in heaven). We then went across the street to Ford's Garage for lunch. There was a 1926 Model A parked out front. The napkins were blue mechanic rags with a band clamp used as a napkin ring. The meals were very good and we brought back 2 takeaway boxes to add to our leftovers for dinner tonight.
