What a fantastic stay with ‘cousin Karen’, David, John and Anna.

Karen and David’s house appeals to me as it is like a museum!

Karen’s vintage collections all have a story and more than likely associate with family history.

Their house is beautiful made with heavy solid reclaimed timbers, David has built many houses over the years – beautiful vaulted ceilings, fireplaces to die for, spectacular inclusions and well thought out storage.

Friday we went into Abilene for a quick shop stop and go by another Indian store.

Hmmm I’ll have this one please!

Off to the country club for a quick sandwich, blue moon and Arnold Palmers while watching roaming squirrels and golf.

That night a ripper of a storm comes through with an awesome lightning show. Nice to hear the rain on a tin roof again.

The morning proves to be a vast contrast to the end of the hot weather we have had the whole trip. It’s a chilly 9C – feels like -1C 😳

We headed out for a quick trip in our old Dodge minivan (Karen and David bought it in 2019) on a 10 mile loop of their property, historical markers, family properties and the ‘cabin’.

It was time to head out and make the journey back to Dallas and flight home.

It’s been an awesome trip and we look forward to getting back again.

Stay safe y’all!
