It's Friday!!!

Even though I don't have photos to share of the Habitat build (doing sheetrock just isn't something that looks impressive on film), we're making some progress. It looks like Monday might be the day the guys (no argument from the ladies group) begin hanging the fire rock (=HEAVY!) on the cathedral ceiling. Best we not think about that this weekend.


Back at the campsite...

We're staying in the City Park which is a GREAT location - only about a mile from the house we're working on. If we were earlier risers and not so tired at the end of the day, we might consider walking it. At any rate, the City Park seems to be the "happening" place to be. Today a bunch (group? mass? herd????) of horses and cows showed up across from where we're camping. Tomorrow there will be a teen roping competition. Turns out it's just something they get together and do down here - sort of like getting together for softball. That's also going on in the ballfields that are a part of the park.


On the backside of our campsites is the city's 9 hole golf course - rather exciting when you hear a ball come crashing through the pecan trees we're camped under. Especially for Joe - the greens fee seems to be reasonable... $10 weekdays; $15 on weekends. Camping is also reasonable - $15 night; $75 week; $300 month with a 3 month limit (Habitat provides our sites at no charge).


For walkers, there's a nature trail in the Park which runs along Comanche Creek with all sorts of overlooks with viewing benches. Don't see the water? That's probably because their isn't any... Guess they weren't joking when they said it had been dry!
