The Muse is Loose

We are doing great in Dallas. The weather is near perfect, except for no rain. My flowers are faring well. The "yard men" came yesterday, leaving the place in pristine condition. The maid came for half day and left everything spotless. Tough life, but we are managing. I have hung hummer feeders and already have a couple of ruby throats. Other yardbirds at the feeder are Jays, Titmice (no black caps), Chickadee, House Wren, Grackles, Cardinals, Finches, and a UFO or two. There are three squirrels I am tolerating, but not loving.

I will not say I have conquered the alarm system, but at least no more visits from "the men in blue". I am fascinated by the automobiles in this area of Dallas. I believe Lexus is the more popular, followed by Mercedes, BMW, and Toyota. Some exotics mingle with those at the small Malls at major intersections. Predominate grocery stores are Tom Thumb and Krogers. Folks are excited about the Rangers and a new season for the Cowboys. They drive more sensibly than the Corpus Christians. I think it is because they make an effort to enforce speed limits.

Sunday we attended Park Cities Baptist Church. They are quite affluent but don't flaunt it. They were very friendly to us. The service we attended was of a traditional sort, which we enjoyed. Other choices were avaliable. They have a three-level parking garage UNDER their buildings.

Today, I filled a prescription for new glasses. Wow! I could almost have bought a ticket to a Cowboy's game. "Welcome to North Dallas, Mr. Pogue."

Tomorrow we plan to drive to near Corsicana for Dempsey's JV game. James is now his coach! He also coaches the Varsity special teams. Friday we plan to attend the varsity game at Justin Northwest. This team played Allen last week and lost 64-0. Allen is number ONE in the state and number THREE in the nation. Justin might be in a bad mood.

That's our Dallas report. No rain in sight here. I know Rockport is in the same pattern. It will come in God's good time.....then there may be more than "showers of blessing".
