Change Of Plans

Georgetown, Texas

Weather: low 65 degrees, high 83 degrees, partly cloudy skies, windy

In last night's post to the blog, I mentioned that we were going to be moving to an Army Corps of Engineers camp ground near Taylor, Texas today. Guess what? There has been a change of plans. After discussing whether to move or not, we decided to stay at Lake Georgetown for another five days, leaving on Wednesday of next week. Wednesday is the day that we are scheduled to pick up the new RV. By waiting until then to move, we save the work of an hour or so of setting up the RV, and then having to do it again next Wednesday when we take delivery of the new home. It makes sense to us, and extends the time we can stay at Granger Lake in the event we need to have anything repaired on the new RV.

Once we decided we would stay at our current site a little longer, we went to HEB to buy some groceries. We were holding off on that little chore until we knew when the new RV would be ready. The HEB store in Georgetown is one of the nicest in that chain that we have been to. Overall, the HEB stores in Texas remind us of the Publix stores that started in Florida, and are now in most of the southeast. So far, the only place we have seen HEB is in Texas. By the way, we saw some bluebonnets at HEB, but they were in pots waiting to be sold. We think the dry weather is going to reduce the number of bluebonnets and other wildflowers this spring.

Does the fact we like HEB and Publix stores mean I don't care for the WalMart Mall any more? Not at all. The WalMart Mall provides merchandise not available at the other stores, and we like some of the products that they sell. In addition, the Mall tends to have cheaper prices on many items we buy from them. Essentially, the Mall provides one-stop shopping.

Whe we got back from HEB and put everything up, we kicked back for awhile, thinking that we would get out and about a little later in the day. Before we knew it, supper time was here. The day had gotten away from us as we took it easy. Looks like we'll try to do something tomorrow. We haven't had much chance to explore while here, so we'll try to have some adventures to talk about in tomorrow's post.

More later, be safe.
