There were some big oaks but I don't think I saw any that big. I'd like to go again and look for them.

Wish I could see either one of those. alcubanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667546605871850986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943691908858971818.post-86778397406099415712014-10-11T09:13:08.632-05:002014-10-11T09:13:08.632-05:00Thank you, Jennifer.

If something had happened to any one of us the rest would have either had to leave the person there or dragged them out. Just think what a great story I could have left for my kids to tell. Much better than stories about the horrors of the nursing home and dementia. At any rate, I'd rather be remembered for the crazy things I've done rather than stories about the things I wanted to do and didn't.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943691908858971818.post-59002394181238931882014-10-11T07:32:24.260-05:002014-10-11T07:32:24.260-05:00Bill, it really is a great way to connect.

But I don't think I'd be able to find these places on my own. I need to go with the herd.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943691908858971818.post-3494860092854095792014-10-10T23:27:22.717-05:002014-10-10T23:27:22.717-05:00What a wonderful way for you to connect with the n...What a wonderful way for you to connect with the nature of the country.

There is a man who lives in Balcones near me that owns some of that land where the oaks and tall pines are located. He told John and I about it years ago and how hard it is to get to it......how thrilling that you were able to see it all.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.com
