It seemed like we were on the go the entire day. We walked our usual path around the golf course. The sun was shining and you could hear the many different birds singing in the trees and bushes. After breakfast, John did some yard work while I straightened up the house a little and made some macaroni salad for tonight's supper. We then headed into Brackettville to return books to the library, pick up the mail, and get a few groceries at Super S.

After lunch, Bruce and Marilyn Nelson picked us up for a trip to see the holey rocks. These are not spiritual rocks, but rocks with holes in them. We traveled approximately 20 miles northeast of town to a large gulch filled with rocks. John and Bruce came prepared with 5 gallon buckets and found some really nice rocks with holes. I spent time looking for smaller rocks and taking some photos of of our adventure. When we got back to town, Bruce persuaded us to stop at Pico's for some of their delicious ice cream--he didn't have a hard time getting us to agree with his idea. The Nelson's are leaving the fort tomorrow and heading back up into the hill country for a couple of more weeks before heading home to Minnesota. We really enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them better. We'll miss having them around.

We had only been home for a little while when Tim and Mary Ellen went by. They pulled in the driveway and John asked them if they would like to see the snake down by the river. They said "Yes"--I said "No!!"--so off they went. John invited them to stay for supper, so we had a spur of the moment meal of hamburgers, macaroni salad, and chips. It is amazing how much fun you have doing things without any planning. I am learning more and more how to fly by the seat of my pants (thank you, Mary Ellen). While John watched college basketball, I started on a jello salad to take to Tim's birthday party which is being held tomorrow afternoon. Sunday promises to be another busy day. Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead tonight!!
