We started off the day by joining our friends at Angel's Restaurant for breakfast, as we do most Sundays. Jean was there and asked if we'd like to hike in the state park after the meal. Hardy and Judy said they'd like to come along, so all five of us ended up hiking the roads in the park, nearly four miles. We walked a bit more slowly than we usually do because we were all talking, of course.
We didn't see many birds, but one feeding station was attracting lots of Great Kiskadees (along with some green jays and cardinals and red wing blackbirds). Ken got some super shots of one bird.
Jean is interested in geocaching, so Hardy showed her the Texas State Parks geocache hidden behind a tree in the park.
When we finished our walk, we stopped by Gary and Judy's to talk to them about going to the RV show next weekend. We interrupted their lunch, but they invited us in and we talked for some time. We learn something new every time we talk with them. Today's best tip: make coffee and cookies for the workers who are doing the final fixes on your new rig--and tip them if they go out of their way for you. We can see that Gary and Judy are really good with people, which no doubt motivates the workers to take good care of them.
This evening we met Hardy and Judy, Steve and Jan, John and Sandy, and Bob and Pat at the discount theater to see Moneyball. Jean had already seen it and recommended it highly. We'd second that recommendation. We really enjoyed the movie. Like 50/50, it's based on a true story. Michael Lewis, who wrote the book on which the movie is based, also wrote the Blind Side, another book based on a true sports story and made into a movie we really enjoyed.
We talked with John and Sandy after the movie about our planned trip to the Don-Wes Flea Market on Wednesday. Bob and Pat also want to go, and they offered to drive all three couples in their van. Should be fun.
