Debra came home for a few and days and told us that if we wanted we could take a day for ourselves and she would look after things here for us. She almost got whiplash as we jumped for the door.
Took a drive to some of the old places in Austin this last Saturday. Before we got too far I asked to stop by this metal works place between Kerrville and Fredricksburg. Some beautiful pieces and pretty good prices. Once we reached Austin, we stopped by the house we lived in, near Lake Travis, Windy Point, and the Oasis Cantina down Commanche Trail. There were roofs everywhere where before were only trees. And the houses are huge and villa-like. It was a strange feeling seeing no familiar places while knowing I'd been there before. Even Windy Point was divided up into two parks and specialized between divers and sailors. We walked out on the diver's side.
The Oasis was under construction and the old building, that I thought was so big, was dwarfed by what is there now.
Our old house was remodeled and using every spare inch on the lot. You can no longer drive over the dam but use a lower highway that goes over Lake Austin right next to the dam.
The lady we met at Windy Point said the Iguana Grill was a great place to eat and had live music. The Suzie Brooks Band was great and the sunset beautiful. The food wasn't bad either. All in all, a great day.
