Weekend in the country!

On Friday, G and I picked up Micah. It is actually closer to get to Glen Rose than our house from there. We went to Glen Rose Friday night, went to Loco Coyote for dinner. It's an awesome place about ten miles outside of Glen Rose, middle of absolute nowhere, that is basically a shack. But, the food is so good that there is almost always a wait of an hour or more! We actually held our rehearsal dinner there, four years ago.

We then went to G's uncle's property and stayed in the cabin there. As i was getting the keys out from a concrete basin in back that shelters the well, i almost grabbed a scorpion! Slept restlessly that night-there was a coyote sniffling around the area that kept waking me up.

Got up early on Saturday and hiked down to the Brazos and watched the steam/mist rise from the surface. Later that day, we did more hiking, when Micah found a complete spinal column from a small animal (raccoon or opossum), along with a wealth of other bones. Darrell, who owns the land jointly with G's uncle, showed us a sinkhole that is possibly a cave.

We did a bit of fishing later too...I got lucky and caught the only one of the day-a 4 or 5 pound bass. So fun! Granted, I felt like an urban rookie when one of the people we were with pulled out a pair of pliers to get the hook out much easier than I could have.

Saturday night, I took G out to meet a few friends at Ferrari's in Addison. It was beyond good! I had a Chilean sea bass with crab over the top that was just heaven. We then went back to Kris and Jerry's and tried Absinthe! I want to try that again, though, perhaps with a different brand. At least this one didn't hit me strongly.

Yesterday was pretty laid back. Watched the Cowboy game, did a little work, and did another dinner with Ginger's fam. Passed out EARLY, and got a good night's sleep for a change.

Now dealing with lots of new company issues this morning...Trying to decide if I'm going to spend too much money on a halloween costume. Oh, and G got a really cool set of hula hoops for her birthday!! What a fun present...

Can you tell that I'm a bit scattered on a Monday morning? Heh.
