The Day After
Zelda and I are visiting the 'rents this weekend.
College Ball yesterday, Georgetown today.
And yes, my team beat their team.
66 to 8.
I am sitting out on the front porch, which is a first.
Very nice. A little warm without a breeze.
Yesterday at the game Zelda succeeded in worring bout whether I would get sun burned or not, and forgot about herself...
She did slather up. But not often enough though out the day to escape unscathed...
We are older and not as active as we once were and walking across campus (a mile) in 90+ degree heat doesn't help. The hard part is the exposure. Four hours in the sun takes a toll.
As we made or way over to Cafe Excell for a late lunch, Zelda succomb to the heat. She was more concerned about collapsing and embarrassing me, I was more worried about her collapsing and my having to call an ambulance.
But we made it to the restaurant, drank some ice water, applied cold compresses to her face and neck, and she slowly recovered.
(Cafe Excell ranked two "yummies", a "wow", and three "ummm!"s from Zelda.
Really worth checking out should you visit College Station. It's behind North Gate on Church Street at Welborn.)
Although Zelda looks solid and sturdy, she is really quite fragile. (As am I)
Breating troubles, extra weight, and an internal sensibility set for "Nebraska weather" and she is easily fatigued.
We both have noticed it is easier to breathe here in Southern Texas, where the alergens are not so high.
We have talked about moving out of the Dallas area for the change of scenery.
It would be better for our health.
Though if we move north, which I would like to do, this Texas boy is going to have to invest in a lot of sweaters.
My bride is finally ready to venture forth, and Papa Zelda has been hungry for hours, so I will sign off from Zelda rent's nature surrounded back porch.
******
We have made it safely home.
Zelda's rents live in Del Web's retirement community. It incorporates a stiff HOA (home owner's association) with well thought out rules about the yards, plantings and such. And it has been left as natural as a developed neighborhood can be.
Deer wander through the back yards, eating what they may, and most homes have front and back porches.
Nice place.
*****
Zelda and I have decided that we will continue to car pool, and the boss with have to work things out.
Have a good week.
