I woke up early and instead of snuggling back under the covers, I decided to get up as today, I need to drive into Austin to return the equipment. Time is running out on the return…

I took the dogs out walking and we just wandered around the park as we usually do, not in any hurry and getting nowhere fast. It was a bright, sunny day and we met a couple of others also walking there dogs and as we usually do, walked away from them as Mikey is always too ready to get into a growling and barking match with any other dog unless he knows them.

We made a couple of circuits around the park and then got back to bring out the bird feeders. Delores had brought back the Jeep so I said goodbye to the dogs and hopped in it for the drive into Austin to return the piece of equipment that had shown up in my mail and that I had not ordered. I had been in contact with the group that sent it to me and told them that I wanted to return it. They sent me instructions on where to go and what to do.

The drive in was uneventful and the return went by without incident. Even though we were in Austin, I had no plans to do any other shopping and made the 30 odd mile trip back to Henly to be met by the dogs who demanded that we go out walkies.

We were sitting outside after having returned from our walk when Delores popped her head around the corner with a couple of beers each, in hand. A most welcome sight indeed both Delores and the beer. We sat and chatted about “stuff” and her trip, her car and when she might get it back. I told her that mine was always available to her.

She left to go back to her RV and we harnessed up for one more walk before bringing in the feeders as the day came to an end
