Vacation
Ariel Started conversation Aug 24, 2001
Vacation was great; I want to move to the Texas Hill
Country and live on a ranch. It is just so gorgeous there;
peaceful and green with lots of rivers and horses.
We stayed in a little cabin in the heart of the State
park, surounded by nothing but trees but furnished
with air conditioning for comfortable sleeping. We
swam in the Guadaloupe River which is wide and deep.
We went on a trail ride up and down the hills in the
early morning, Emma and I both on a strong, good
natured horse named LBJ. That horse was a wonder.
Emma was sitting side saddle for comfort. When the
trail narrowed, he made a point of brushing against
the trees away from where she was sitting. Twice he
lost his footing going down rocky trails and twice
he butted us up under him, got his footing, took a deep
breath and went calmly on. We both gave him a big
hug when we got back. We went on a few short hikes and
saw a four point buck up close. The sky was bright
with stars at night. We told funny scary stories
which were less funny when we were alone at night
wondering what that knocking sound was (a deer). We
made really good chilli and corn bread for dinner
and had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. We read
lots of Harry Potter and found a great combination
coffee shop/auto parts store that made the BEST
cherry pie I have ever tasted and has music on Friday
nights.
