A highlight of any trip to Austin is visiting with my old friend Loretta. Ken drove me to the Costco parking lot today where I met with her for a leisurely stroll around Arbor Trails walking path. It's a wide, well maintained crushed gravel trail that winds around the large Arbor Trails shopping center. It has shade and scenery and even some interpretive signs showing local trees and such. Loretta and John are about to graduate as Master Naturalists, so they know a great deal about the local geology and flora and fauna, but she says they still have a lot to learn. As usual, we had an enjoyable conversation.
After our walk we headed to Kerbey Lane Cafe nearby. Ken joined us; he had been browsing the electronics department and cruising the samples at Costco.
We have eaten at the Kerbey Lane before, and it's always good. Today we had a rather long wait, even though we had called in early to get on the wait list. We enjoyed our meal and the conversation. I don't see Loretta often enough, but now that we have a guest room, we're hoping she (and maybe John) will come to the valley for a visit.
