Abe and Mabel

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 59 degrees, high 74 degrees, cloudy

We are expecting thunder storms, with the possibility of hail tonight. Bad weather is always something we try to keep an eye on, but even more so at night because we can't see what is happening. Hopefully, it will be weaker than projected.

We were going to go to Cleburne today to do some sightseeing and take pictures, but the cloudiness was not conducive to taking good pictures. We decided to wait until the sun is shining before we go out again. In the meantime, I took some books back to the library in Glen Rose, and checked out more. In the afternoon, I took some videos back to the library in Granbury and picked up some more for viewing when there is not anything on TV.

Last night, we watched The Passion of the Christ. It is a violent movie, and by the end of it, I found myself looking away when the violence starting seeming a little over the top. What we saw in the movie was probably less than what actually happened.

Several days ago, I promised that I would introduce our pets to everyone. When we started traveling, we noticed that a lot of people had pets with them. The pets ranged from little dogs to huge dogs, cats with a lot of hair to cats with almost no hair, birds, fish, horses, guinea pigs, etc. We decided we would have a pet, but after talking about it, we obtained two pets, because we didn't want a pet by itself to be lonely. Much like having two dogs so one dog would not be lonely. After thinking about it and discussing all the options that are available, we decided to get two flamingos. Now, I know that a flamingo is an unusual pet, but we like to keep people guessing about what we will do next. The flamingos are named Abe and Mabel.

Note that Mabel is turned away from Abe a little. She is ticked off at Abe for being out late with the other boy flamingos last night. Abe is on the left and Mabel is on the right. The obvious question you might ask is how do we know which one is Abe and which one is Mabel. It's just like when a family has identical twins. They always know which twin is which. I mean, look at them. Can't you see the differences?

I'll keep everyone posted on Abe and Mabel's adventures as we travel across the country.

More later, be safe.
