"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us"
On Sunday April 23rd we made the move from poorly run Wilson Fox to nicely ran Blanco state park. The predicted all day rain did no materialize so drive was uneventful. However we failed to pack correctly. Our wardrobe was warm weather focused. The low Sunday night was 48. Brr
We were supposed to have dental appointments Monday then have dinner with Tom and Diane. With dental checkups canceled we will do a little shopping and then meet up for dinner
Life is all about plan B

We arrived as planned Thursday afternoon just prior to the arrival of the thunderstorms. Rough night for a few hours but luckily not nail or strong winds. Learned of a small restaurant in Taylor and decided to give it a try. Plaumans kitchen was a nice place located in band hall of the old high school.
Friday meant laundry day so we could catch up. We learned of another small restaurant in Hutto, about 7 miles from Taylor. Seemed like a good idea and indeed it was.

The fish were cooperative. Most fun i have had in a long while. Of course, catch and release.

Taking it easy by the lake. Thursday is moving day and it is supposed to be rainy. An inconvenience to be sure, but not really a big deal. Having fun catching bluegill and playing with camera. All is well. Speaking of phone...my smart phone decided to jump off truck at 60mph. It is roughed up a bit but case and screen saver di good job of protecting it. Screen is not cracked or scratched, back of phone has bad case of road rash.
The agenda was open so a day of rest and relaxation was in order. Some scenes of nothing happening.

Sunday meant moving day. While Fredericksburg was fun it was time for some peace and quiet. Our next stop was Union Grove campground at Stillhouse Hollow lake. With our senior pass COE campsites like this are a great value. Compare $65 per night at Bending Oaks to $14 per night at Union Grove. Add in scenic views and peace and quiet and you have a winning combination.
Not much of an agenda for this stop or the next. Just get outdoors and enjoy.

Today was quiet and fairly uneventful. We made a quick dash home to get Mary some pain meds, ate lunch at Backwoods bar b que and did laundry. Tomorrow is moving day to Still house hollow. Looking forward to the peace and quiet. The hectic noise of this area wears on you after a while.
On the road again tomorrow.
