A Typical Day

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 57 degrees, high 75 degrees, cloudy skies, windy

The weather forecast is calling for rain late tonight, with more slated for tomorrow. The area needs the rain, so I guess I can put up with it for a couple of days. The last two weeks have been great as far as the weather is concerned.

After my morning walk and breakfast, we went for a ride around and through Glen Rose and the surrounding area. We were surprised to find that several houses are being built, even in this economic climate. What was also surprising was the low number of houses that are for sale. That may be because people have taken their houses off the market, but we think it's primarily because this is a desirable place to live.

The area has a lot going for it, with the natural beauty and small town feel. It is close enough to Fort Worth and Dallas to get there easily enough, yet far enough away that it can maintain the special feeling that we like so much. It gets hot here in the summer (try 110 degrees on for size) but the humidity tends to be much lower than it is east of here or on the coast. Then there's the quirky history I've written about before. Does it sound like we like this area? Well, we do.

When we returned home, it was time for some meditation. Later in the day, I watched some college basketball, while Carolyn visited with our friend Denise. After a supper of leftovers, we watched Law and Order on television. Then Carolyn watched some cooking shows while I wrote the blog post and caught up on the e-mail. Just another day in the life of the Retired Drifters.

More later, be safe.
