A Change in Plans.....

Disha Mayıs 18, 2022

Louis Dean and I enjoyed a leisurely morning sitting by the fire, sipping our coffee and doing our reading.

The Bible first followed by a devotional book and then Melody Beattie's 'The Language of Letting Go' and finally our out loud reading book. Currently it is 'Duck Commander.' We are loving it!

Louis Dean put on a brisket to cook slowly thinking we had all day......

We even managed to watch the last episode of The Black List!

About that time I called LD's son to go over our plans this week.

He is hosting a Karate event on Saturday and we are helping with food for the closing dinner.

I noticed it was raining ever so lightly this morning and I thought perhaps I should check the weather - both here and down at the ranch. Sure enough! If we were going to the ranch we must go NOW! Country and property roads being what they are - rain makes a HUGE difference!! It's no small matter getting STUCK in the mud!! Louis Dean began throwing our stuff together - food, clothes, books, supplies, pets, all manner of things - in the truck! The roaster was already cooking the brisket so we unplugged it and loaded it up!

We had to make a Home Depot run and a trip to Sam's for some meds - and a spot of lunch!

You see TWO hot dogs here but he actually had THREE!!!

Suffice it to say - we were MOVING!!! By the time we were stuck in traffic on I35 I was nodding off because I was so tired! Louis Dean drove and I napped. Win! WIN!!

We left at 4:00 and arrived at the ranch gate at 7:00! It was LOCKED! It was RAINING!

Even though they KNEW we were coming!! LD's grandson was soon on his way from a Karate class in town to unlock it for us! We made it to our camper without the truck getting stuck in the mud!! Robert, the grandson, did not fare so well. He was in a Lexus and he was STUCK!!! Dean had to catch a ride home from class because Robert was stuck and LD was afraid to get his truck out and find himself in the same position!
