Last week my husband and I took a trip to Texas. We met with some cousins, who we dearly love to travel with, and we drove over to Palestine, TX in the Piney Woods area for a wine train excursion. It is a steam driven locomotive that went from Palestine to Rusk, TX and back again. It was even complete with champagne and a full bar. A picnic lunch was provided and the weather was wonderful. We had a beautiful Airbnb for two nights and then we drove to Dallas.

Medieval Times is not too far in downtown Dallas from the Cotton Bowl and it was OU vs Texas weekend. (or as our cousins like to call it, Texas vs. OU). Our cousin drove the whole trip with ease. I’m glad I wasn’t responsible for that.

In Dallas we had reservations at Medieval Times restaurant. I was unsure what to expect at this event but the dinner and show were fantastic! I was in love with the horses in the pageant and horsemanship of the actors was beyond compare. Those horses were not just well trained, but well taken care of. The actors were great, as was the food. I would go again!  

We arrived home on Sunday afternoon and by mid-week we tested positive for Covid! We’ve been immunized, but not against the latest strain out there. Covid is more controllable than it once was but is still a formidable enemy! The shots were not available in our hometown when we left. But I’ll once again line up and get my immunization when I’m well and the doctor says I can. We’re on antiviral meds and they are helping, but there were a couple of days that I barely remember. I’m still breathing and that is what is important.

So, I’ve not gotten much writing done this week, maybe this afternoon. I am getting better and so is my husband though we’d both dearly love to get out. The weather has cooled and we’re stuck in the house that smells like Lysol. We will survive!

What are you reading/writing this week?
