Back Home Again & Keeping Busy

We left Carlsbad bright and early Tuesday morning and after encountering some heavy traffic around the gas and oil fields and a fog bank outside of Pecos, we arrived in Del Rio a little after 1 P.M.  Our first stop was Chick-fil-A for some lunch before picking up some groceries.  We had just ordered our meal and found a booth when Chuck and Lois walked in.  They just spent the morning Christmas shopping and were ready for a break.  John and I invited them to join us and we were able to catch up on what has been happening on the fort while we were away.  Following lunch, we headed to HEB for some much needed restocking of the pantry.  Once that job was done, we hit the road back to the fort.  Then began the chore of unloading the car and putting everything away.  John did manage to play a couple of holes of golf before dark.

 This morning John headed off to play golf with the men's Wednesday group.  Today eight guys showed up including several who just arrived for the winter.  John's team ended up one under par winning the round.  While he was busy with golf, I got the rest of the clothing unpacked and everything is now back in place.  I still have a mountain of laundry to do, but that can wait for another day.  The weather today was just about perfect, so we headed out to play nine holes this afternoon.  Couples' golf is tomorrow afternoon, so I needed some practice.  The winter activities are starting up again next week--Washers, potluck, and Saturday morning breakfasts to name a few.  Should be a busy time.
