A Room with a View

July 27, 2012, Day 42

Thanks to Gretchen, we found the sign you made for Fred's Bar and Grill and have it desplayed in a prominent place.

Sharon did laundry in the morning, a weeks worth of laundry makes for a lot of washing and folding and jockeying for washers and dryers, not to mention the hauling back and forth and the quarters.

We decided to go out for lunch this afternoon and wanted to go back to the Pan Cake House, they do serve lunch. We got there at 1:30 and it was packed and a half hour wait. So we decided to look around the place. They have an antique store up stairs, a Christmas shop down stairs with lots and lots of stuff and Augie has a sheepskin shop, guess he is looking for something to do when Texas Baseball is over. Gave Sharon a little time to talk on the phone to Sheri. Lunch was good we split a Pastrami and it was plenty enough to eat along with the friesand the cup of soup.

Today was also a day for a drive and we had scoped out Pondarosa Park on the map and decided to try it out. What a beautiful place, a state park with a $5 entry fee to keep the riff raff out. A big welcome center with plenty of space for camping and enjoying the day. And the views were spectacular back toward the city, towering cliffs, big pines and the rock of Gibraltar.

Golf Balls for sale

 After our drive it was back to the park. This guy down a few spaces from us has golf balls for sale with an interesting pricing schedule. $0.40 for 1-50, $0.35 for 51-100, $0.30 for 101-200 and $0.25 for 201-all. Let me know if you want me to pick you up some, no pro-v1's however.

We had Happy Hour at Skip's and I fixed Sharon a Mexican Martini, she said it was good.  Everyone was in attendance, even Franz after his morning of putting buoys in the lake for Al to measure his swimming distance and a motor bike ride.  Still waiting for my camera battery charger.

Back at the ranch it was steak on the grill, with a very good Cameron Hugh's lot 300.

After that we turned on the Olympics and enjoyed the opening ceremony, followed by desert.  Not quite as good as the Cheese Cake Factory, but it was Paul's best New York Cheese Cake.
