Supper With Scott And Chriselda

Taylor, Texas

Weather: low 30 degrees in Bay City, Texas, high 48 degrees in Taylor, Texas, partly cloudy skies

We left Bay City this morning after enjoying the visit for the holidays. Normally, we have a place we plan to go in order to see new places and things. This time, we haven't planned beyond the next couple of days. We're in Taylor at the Army Corps of Engineers Wilson H. Fox Park, located on Granger Lake. Our plan was to stay at the Corps' Taylor Park, but when we pulled in, we discovered that the park was closed for the winter. That was a surprise, because we had been told by a camp host in March that the Corps had decided to keep Taylor Park open year round. I guess they changed their minds. We moved on down the road a couple of miles and checked into the park we're in now.

We were parked and set up before 1400 hours. The trip over was uneventful, with nothing to distinguish it from all the other trips we have made this way. Resting until about 1700 hours, we met our nephew Scott and his wife Chriselda for supper at Chili's in Hutto at 1730 hours. This get together was delayed from our earlier visit in the area back in December when circumstances prevented us from getting together. We had a good meal and visit with Scott and Chriselda, with a promise to get together when we're in the area again.

When we arrived home, we happened to look up at the night sky with all the stars shining. Wow! When living near a town or city, the background light at night tends to mask the beauty of the sky. If we're fortunate enough to make it out to Big Bend, one of the things we'll be looking at will be the night sky and stars. Plus the Marfa lights. Plus........

More later, be safe.
