A Day Off!

Today was our first day off. We gratefully slept in and had a leisurely brunch. Our walk took us outside Rainbow's End. Ken snapped a couple of photos.

Pony! 
Then we set out on some of our errands. We loaded our empty propane tank in the truck bed and drove first to Kwik Lube to get a new Texas State Inspection sticker for the truck. There was a line and a predicted wait of half an hour, so we moved on.

It turned out the next place on our list was Moore Auto Sales, right across from Walmart, so I stopped in Walmart to return some things while Ken went to get the inspection done. The timing worked well. I was just picking up a new fire extinguisher to replace the outdated one we had bought last week when Ken called to say we had passed the "inspection" (they hadn't actually checked much).

Next we stopped at the Murphy Memorial Library, where we checked out some videos and books. Then we went on to Brookshires, where we got some really good mahi-mahi and salmon. On the way home we stopped at the Red Barn for propane, only to find that the propane department is now closed on Wednesdays. Good thing we have another tank which is nearly full!

We spent some time sorting through our photos and culling them. We're working on July 2010 right now. We took over 200 photos in the Grand Tetons and over 500 in Yellowstone, so it's definitely a challenge to decide which to keep and which to discard.
