We’ve spent the last week moving all of our ‘stuff’ into the storage area we rent in Round Rock, TX. This storage area is somewhat a ‘dirty little secret’ of our where we have a vestige of a connection to a permanent home. The rent of $125/month exceeds our 1st rental of $85/month!
Where did all this ‘stuff’ come from? In addition to the pile that you saw in our last blog, much of it came when I emptied the huge storage area in the belly of our 5th wheel.
Solving another one of mankind's great questions, this picture was posted on Face Book by a friend of ours. Next, to address the Pope’s religion !
Last night (Saturday) we pulled out bodies together to attend a Shrimp Boil sponsored by the Lutheran Church we attend in Georgetown. You know how we felt: A long day working at a frustrating task, all we wanted to do was sit at home and relax with a can of soup.
But, we didn’t and were very happy we made the effort!
Shrimp are boiled in a spicy (this is Texas!) water after it has boiled the corn and new potatoes. The workers being outside the church building are allowed a few adult beverages as reward for standing over the huge boiling pots.
Each table of 8 appoint a server whose job is to trek to and from the huge never-ending supply of food kept HOT in Styrofoam coolers.
Eating utensils are fingers, common drink is lemonade or Sweet Tea.
We shared great fellowship and waddled away having eaten our fill of shrimp and side dishes. Did I forget the home made peach cobble w/ice cream for desert?
Somehow. Pastor got stuck scrubbing pots after the event.
In the coming week, I am trying to learn a new software package for this blog. It will unfortunately mean that I must change the address, stay tune and pay attention or you may loose the thread.
