Hammond's Bar-B-Que

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 75 degrees, high 89 degrees, partly to mostly cloudy skies, winds 20 to 30 mph

Today was more eventful than yesterday, but not by much. Of course, it was Sunday, and we're supposed to be resting, not out gallivanting around. With that in mind, we went to Hammond's Bar-B-Que Restaurant for lunch. The food was as good as we remembered, and even though we both got a child's plate, there was plenty left over for supper. The child's plate had sliced brisket and sausage for the meat. Carolyn added potato salad and fried okra for her lunch, while I had french fries and cole slaw. Good food.

After lunch, we went for a ride across the beautiful countryside, ending up near Cleburne State Park. Actually, we went farther than I had intended, but it was okay. By the time we got home, it was past time for some meditation, so we took care of that little necessity.

Later in the afternoon, I decided to wash the bugs off the front of the RV. By the time I was finished, I had washed all of the RV. Now, if only it was that easy to put some wax on it.

I still have some pictures from Rockport that haven't been shared with the blog. Today is a good day for correcting that oversight. The first time we went through Rockport was almost 20 years ago. At that time, the area hadn't been discovered by the Winter Texans. Here's what the old part of town looks like, and there wasn't much more to see 20 years ago.



At one time, a railroad went through Rockport. Here's the old train depot.



I like to see murals in the places we go to. They give us an idea of what the area is about, and what is important to the area. Here's one from Rockport.



And one more mural from Rockport.



My appointment to see a doctor about my wrist is tomorrow. Here's hoping it's nothing serious.

More later, be safe.
