I am in Dallas, Big D, the City. When I left paradise, it was an absolutely beautiful morning. The moon was just a sliver, and it was the most amazing mix of colors - gold, brown, black, orange, yellow. Amazing. It had this glow around it. I have never ever seen anything quite like it!
Along the way I saw a heard of elk, up close and personal. I cam around a corner and they all were standing at the fence. They were looking at me with this expression of "Barb Slow Down!" Hate that. Beautiful animals. I have seen a couple at a time together. I have heard the bulls bugling. I have never been close enough to them to read their license plate number! I think the number was around 30. After that shocker, I go around another corner to have a Big Bull standing looking at me. Big!
Of course, when you get into Texas, there is not a whole lot to offer. Don't get me wrong. I love Texas. I am truly a Texas girl. Unfortunately, Girl does not really work for me any more. I love (yes it is time to find another adjective) the sky. Big sky. Blues like no where else. Wind - well I had to ruin it didn't I! It is always so amazing to me the vastness of the great state. When I was in Austin half of my trip was driving through Texas. That is not to say I was going corner to corner. That would be driving from mid state to the corner. Scary. I am not sure the mileage from the tip in the gulf to the tip of the Panhandle. I do know, it would take two good days.
And here I am in Big D. There are so many shopping things to remember. Note taking and lists have become a bit more common, but many things still get forgotten or time runs out. Restaurants are a biggie here for me. Tex - Mex, mussels, good steak, Buzz Brews, these are all important to me. I know it sounds silly, but they are really musts!
Enough for now. Sleep tight all!
