typical Texas scene |
After work tonight, I drove to
Hallettsville, TX... and back. Barrett rode along to keep me company. I had to take Sir Henry and Éclair to my mother for some pet sitting due to my hectic work schedule this week. Being a single dad is difficult. We stopped on the way back at Red's Grocery for a beer and directions to the nearest down home chicken fried steak in the county. By the time I finally got back home, it was late and I was once again exhausted. I can't sleep. The house is especially quiet and empty without The Peanut. We saw this neat wooden windmill on the way cross country to I-10 from alternate 90. I stopped for a snapshot despite the incredible need to find a restroom. Nothing else really happened today of note other than I shaved off my beard. It was spontaneous. I was giving Éclair a scissor cut and just went inside and did it. I look about 10 years younger (again). I feel about 20 years older.
of course... The Windy City would have windmills |
"Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God"
I can't sleep. I just lay in bed... and cry.
Poor dear you. It will get better eventually, I absolutely promise you. Glad to hear you shaved though. :-)
I didn’t know your Mom lived in Hallettsville. I used to live there and worked on the square at Schwartz & Schwartz… a million years ago. Next time, opt for a BBQ plate on the square - I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s good and easy to find (obvioulsy - small town).
She doesn’t. It was just a mid way point so I wasn’t driving for like 8 hours after work last night. It’s pretty down there… in a South Texas sorta way. She has some land over near your old stomping grounds (Cuero area) and they were there to meet some out of town friends. I want to do the Spanish Mission trail soon… documentsome history.
Do you sell your pictures? Amazing talent.
I am here.
