Today was absolutely beautiful. Lower humidity replaced the muggy weather of the past several days. The temps were a little cooler this morning--45 degrees--when we left home for our morning walk. John's back continues to mend--we were able to walk our entire route and keep a good pace. The golf course is so green and lush looking. Just about all the trees have leafed out. The intersection in front of our place was closed all day as the road work continues. They should be finished sometime soon.



After breakfast John headed over to Metcalf's to replace an eletrical panel. When he got back, he finished putting Thompson's Water Sealer on the rest of the deck and on our sign in the front yard.
This will hopefully help preserve the wood and keep it from rotting and warping. While he was busy with those chores, I started sorting through our clothes trying to decide what will be left here over the summer and what needs to be taken home. It is hard to believe that we only have about 10 left before we head north.

Since we are having company this weekend, we headed off to Del Rio to stock up on some groceries. We also made a quick stop at Home Depot--can never make a trip there without stopping at HD. It seems like we always need a bolt, washer, or some such item.

When we got home, John rested on an ice pack--just as a precautionary measure. Today was the first he has sat for any length of time and he seemed to handle it pretty well. There was no wood carvers this evening, so John was home to watch Survivor with me. We ended the evening watching our favorite Thursday night TV shows and catching up with email and blogs. Tomorrow will be a busy day preparing for company.
