Copperas Cove - Austin Texas

Robbie and I like to work on home projects together. We decided to put up crown molding in the master bathroom was the next project for us.  Their master bathroom is the size of our living room and has about 20 corners to cut.

Anyone who has installed molding knows that crown molding means "coping" the corners.  Not the traditional coping with a hard day but coping an inside corner.  There was lots of coping and we found using a Dremel was the easiest option.  Very dusty and messy but lots quicker.



We have one last piece to cut today (September 24th) and then it's on to painting all the molding.

Wednesday we all went to Austin to the Central Market.  It's a grocery store beyond all belief.  You want a radish.  Well Central Market had about 25 varieties.  The cheese section had Sylvia in a twitter and Roy wandered the wine section for 20 minutes.  The Ooos and Awessss were a bit embarrassing but he was in heaven.

The radish section!

Luckily we had lunch just before we got there at a great Mexican restaurant.  I had grilled chicken mexican cob salad.  It was very tasty.  Without a hearty and tasty lunch there could have been more damage at Central Market.

Today for fun three of us are off to the Army medical clinic to get our Covid booster shots.  Then back to work on the molding.

Love to all!!

We departed Copperas Cove, TX. We had a wonderful stay with Robbie and Sylvia. I need to fast for eight days to lose the weight gain. My Sylvia can cook and we ate way too much every day.  We got the crown molding installed and Robbie is caulking. There were one or two corners that needed extensive caulking but most went in well.  In addition to interior design, Sylvia is also a gardener. There are butterflies 🦋 and birds everywhere. They enjoy the yard as much as the humans. Roy and I have acquired a new skill. Identifying dead squished animals. Today I-10 west was quite busy:  A fawn 😟 Deer Skunk Porcupine  opossums Cougar  And a large bird of pray - Harris’s Hawk. I had to look up that one. Love to all! Grandma and FunPop

We are home and this odyssey is over.  It was a challenging last few days . . .  Las Vegas to Bakersfield, CA It was beautiful drive.  We lived in the Mojave Desert a few years ago and I had forgotten how beautiful the desert can be.  We arrived in Bakersfield early than expected and decided to go to camping world and Costco.  It was an expensive decision... We stopped at camping world to find a sewer pipe cap to replaced one that had cracked.  The cap isn't technically needed but I didn't want to see the inside.  It was an inexpensive cap so $6.59 later we were out the door and on our way to Costco for supplies. I gave Roy wrong directions and we turned into a residential area.  Roy found a small cul-de-sac and managed to turn around.  What we didn't realize until we arrived at Costco we lost our backup camera on the trailer.  Turns out we crimped the cable and we lost trailer running lights and backup camera.  We could drive durin...

We spent a lovely two days visiting Tony, Diane, and Deseree in Maryland. Roy and I Roy and Tony  Harbor Roy and Troy Tony, Diane and I getting the route down to Newport News, Virginia. We had a great drive on the backroads to Newport News. It was very stormy ⛈ but so green and lots of old farms. Much better than I-95. Many thanks to Tony, Diane and Deseree.
