Still in Llano

Still in Llano...phone has not yet rung to inform us that the part is in for the fridge. Yesterday the guys once again played golf. They walked this time  and it was raining when they started. A cold front has come through and it feels like an adequate fall day in Iowa but we are in Texas.
Lisa and I checked out a bottle tree place of business yesterday. She asked that we not take pictures so we didn't. She sells them without bottles starting at $150 apiece. They were all very elaborate. Some very beautiful and some not. The proprietress is the artist and does her own welding. We enjoyed visiting with her but didn't buy anything. I do have some ideas for son Jason if he ever decides to take on the business.
We then went to lunch at The Acme, a small little restaurant in an old building downtown. Their specialty is crabcakes which seems slightly strange since they are not near an ocean. I enjoyed a crabcake and a salad for lunch. It was scrumptious.
Lisa and I then hit the thrift shops, a better place to browse than antique stores. The prices are better. One place was named The Junk Store another the Retell Store. At the Retell Store Rachel has all kinds of costumes among bunches of other stuff. There was a young Texas cowboy type in the dressing room trying on dresses. We assume for a Halloween costume. He tried on one that he liked and Rachel said, "I think it is too short." He replied, "No, It is fine. I like it." Rachel said, "Okay as long as you are happy with it." He walked out of the shop with the too short dress and a pair of size twelve purple high heels. Sure would have liked to see him in his new outfit.
We returned to our Rv's and after supper we played cribbage with Lisa and Terry. The guys had whomped on us the night before but we battled our way back with 2 skunks last night. Terry and Lisa will be leaving today but we must remain and wait for our phone call.

There are worse places to be stranded.
