Waco with Hermine

Sept. 8, 2010

We are at the Midway COE RV Park on Lake Waco. Beautiful grounds, the lake, great campsite with picnic table and grill, even some left over wood right there, watching Hurricane Hermine pass on through. We have "reserved" tables at Starbucks where I've just made my latest discovery!

A FREE BOOK! (my favorite kind) www.bookcrossing.com is the website label on the inside and I just visited it for the first time. You "catch" the book, log on to record the BCID number and where found. You read the book then "release" it, write a review and log where the book is at that time. You can trace how long the book travels and where. Each book has its very own blog.....Like We Do! the website tells you how to download your own labels and numbers to adopt other books for the "catch and release" program. I am anxious to read and release, and release some of my excess baggage with labels to see where they travel next.

Otherwise, life is good in Texas. We had wonderful weather for walks and BBQ's at Bluff Dale. We got to visit with many friends in the area. Dallas was typically busy, but great to enjoy family. We are doing the same in Waco, but leave tomorrow for Austin and more of the same. Next Stop: Houston!

Along the way we are visiting libraries and graveyards working on family tree. This has been great fun and we have met a few, very distant, cousins while enjoying some of the current ones. Nice Combo!

Russell is packed up and ready to roll, more later.
