Oh Deer! Happy Birthday!

A couple of weeks ago, the taxidermist in Hamilton, Texas called to let Tom know the deer trophy from last November was completed and ready for pick-up. Since we were going to be going down to New Braunfels last week, we decided to drive the scenic route and pick it up.

Wish we could have timed it for a break at the Koffee Kup in Hico, but it was too late for breakfast and too early for lunch when we happened by. We settled for a soft drink at the gas station across the street.

We found the place and after admiring the taxidermist's handiwork, headed on to Lampasas where we stopped for lunch at a BBQ place.

Don't you think it looks nice? We have it hanging above the bookcases in the office.

Every thing is soooo very dry! Instead of summertime green landscape, it looks like winter time when the only thing green are the cedar and liveoak trees. Sad.

We were making our trip to New Braunfels to help Tom's mom celebrate her 92nd birthday! For her birthday dinner, Linda and Larry, John and DD and their daughter Debi, Tom and I and Wilma ate at Ryan's Buffet. It is her favorite place to eat and since it offers a wide variety of foods everyone ate well.

We headed home Saturday after lunch and for once I-35 actually flowed. There was a good bit of traffic, but we were able to go the speed limit the whole way. Nice visit, but we were glad to be home.
