YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT LIES AROUND THE NEXT BEND


We had a rare treat this weekend.  John's nephew Geoff and his lovely wife Jessica were in San Antonio for a conference, so they tacked a few extra days onto their trip, in order to come spend some time with us in Wimberley.  They live in Milwaukee...where it snowed this week...so each time a restaurant asked us "Do you want to dine inside, or out?", which do you think they chose?  I didn't get any pictures the whole weekend, other than that one taken the first night.  I'm afraid we were just having too much fun, and doing too much talking, to be bothered with a camera.

But then last night, after dinner, we decided that perhaps we should go for a little walk first, if we wanted to have peach pie later.  So we took them over to the new hike and bike trail I told you about.  Only, guess what?

It no longer stops up there above the railing, like it did the last time I walked it.  It keeps on going, and going...

running for a while alongside a new road that's being excavated (perhaps leading to new sports fields for the kiddos?)...
Could that be even more of the trail, leading through the cemetery, down to the town square?

until finally it comes out here at the cemetery, by the little driveway that takes you to the entry of The Blue Hole.  Best of all, the newly opened section of the path is even more shaded and lovely than the first half!  What a nice surprise, and what a great way to end a wonderful weekend.  Are we lucky, or what?

Geoff looked at that 3rd photo of the back of his head and said, "oh my gosh, I DO have a bald spot on the back of my head!" He was just as surprised as John was at the barber shop a number of years ago when he saw the back of his head in the mirror. I just howled in laughter, given our conversation last night!

Oh Dear, sorry to burst your bubble Geoff!
