Sunday, April 30, 2017--McDonald Observatory and Ft. Davis

     For some reason we all slept in this morning. (At 5:30 we checked the temp--25 degrees!) We were toasty warm in our van.
     We had a leisurely morning and a sumptuous breakfast of waffles with delicious sausage and lots of cups of coffee and tea. Then we brought out our computers and iPads for some cozy surfing and visiting. I blogged.
     We didn't get hungry again until mid-afternoon and drove to Ft. Davis for lunch at "The Drugstore". We enjoyed burgers, oldies music, lots of relics of bygone eras and a real soda fountain with a counter and stools! The town of Ft. Davis was an army post from the time of stage lines, guarding the Butterfield trail and indians. It had many stone buildings from that time, including a huge general store. 
     It was a lazy day of visiting, possibly an occasional nap, and relaxing. There was not a cloud in the sky!!!! We did not see a bird!!




Gus, the sweet coonhound, and Spica, the sweet ball of fluff named after a star, led the way in the relaxing today.




Today Our Eyes (and the rest of us) Were Relaxing!!!!
