Hey Ladies,  What an enjoyable hike this morning!  We walked 3+ miles beginning at 8:30 am.  Temperature was pleasant and, surprisingly, the water level was not all that high considering our recent rains.  Those attending were:  AnnaE, Kathleen with Baby and Mamie, and Jacque with Sheba the Diva.  Our conversation topics ranged widely:  red curtains; our monthly meeting last evening – friends who joined and attended; how dogs’ poop varies even when fed the same diet; taking care of our kids and what they need; an upcoming trip to Peru with a local travel group – expected altitude and meds needed;  a recent camping trip to Guadalupe Mountains National Park – camp stove type, distance from campsite to New Mexico, driving distance from Austin, Golden Eagle seen; dogs that so enjoy bouncing in the creek;  companies that are hiring and how much is being paid, plus benefits; our neighborhoods and worth of houses and lots and all the complaints going on about taxes; more complaints from neighbors about mowing, hiring folks to mow and maintain landscape; dog walkers with 5-6 dogs to watch and care for.  Guess that’s it for this time!  Jacque
