Jim Hogg COE, Georgetown, Texas; April 13 to 20, 2015

We've been to this park before and it is large, usually quiet during the time of year we visit and it's the first place I saw a roadrunner in the wild




. Embarrasingly, in the seven days we were there, we found excuses to have lunch at Plaka Greek Cafe four different times. While at Plaka the first time, there was a flight crew from an Angel of Mercy flight. These were the folks who flew my cousin Mary (Trish's Mom) to the hospital for her cancer treatments. I tried to thank one of the pilots, but ended up in tears and he looked like a deer caught in headlights. Happily the nurse came over and (mostly) I was able to explain to her how grateful we were to the organization, since although working in the medical profession, she lost her job when her cancer advanced and she had neither income nor insurance. Our heartfelt thanks to Angels of Mercy.


We did go to Austin to visit the Penzey's Store to pick up some spices we were running low on. Of course, on our way back to Georgetown we stopped at Plaka for lunch... And, in our defense, we did get back into the habit of doing our exercises and 1 to 2 mile walks which my sprained ankle had curtailed. Now we're on to Midway Park in Waco.
