Happy July 4th from Georgetown, Texas!

Ted and I hope all of you have a happy and safe 4th of July!  Remember Independence Day is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776.

On Saturday Ted and I took a drive to the historic downtown Georgetown square.  The Monument Cafe (bronze award winner) was highly recommended so we had lunch there.  The diner only serves fresh, locally grown and homemade food.  Boy everything was delicious! 

Yesterday  Joe and Sue the hosts for the Palo Duro RV rally we attended in June took us to Dos Salsas for lunch.  The restaurant was a gold medal winner.  We tried to get there before the church crown but it was still very busy.  Ted had soft beef brisket tacos and I had flaquitas; two flour tortillas stuffed with chicken and lightly deep fried, topped with ranchero sauce and Monterrey jack cheese, really delicious!

They drove us around Georgetown showing us the river, one of the lakes, the area where they live, the movie theaters and a nail place for me!  It was fun seeing their town and talking with them.

In the afternoon we had neighbors, John and Deanna (whom we also met at the rally) over for a glass of wine and some cheese and crackers.  It was fun getting to know them better.

This morning we went to the movies to see Transformers.  We enjoyed the movie and are home taking it easy in the air conditioning.  It is still over 100 every day and does not cool off like San Diego in the evenings.  This evening we are going out to a barbeque restaurant with Joe and Deanna.

As you can tell, we are getting plenty to eat! 

Enjoying the fourth in Georgetown..."Ain't Life Grand!"
