We hated to leave Parus and Sue (and San Antonio) but it was time. We headed out early as we were meeting an old friend from Eugene, Mike Dunaway, in Austin where we played golf with him and his Dad. It was 67 degrees when we started playing golf and 85 degrees when we finished. We saw several Texas-sized squirrels and then some turtles lazing around one of the ponds. It was really an enjoyable morning. We then had the long drive to Dallas and didn't get there until early evening. We stayed in Grapevine, had an early supper and went to bed. We woke up the next morning, found a Mimi's Restaurant fairly close (we love those restaurants) and headed out the Bass Pro Shop. It seemed bigger and better than the last time we visited in 2004. We got to the Dallas Cowboy Golf Club about 2:00 p.m., ate a leisurely lunch, bought a few items in the pro shop (mostly for our daughter, Mariah, who is a big Dallas Cowboy fan) and got ready to play golf. I was glad to see the life-size poster of Troy Aikman still in the lady's restroom and would have liked to take it home to Mariah. We were one of the last ones to tee off for the day so we basically had the whole, beautiful course to ourselves. It was a dream and, for some reason, we both golfed really well. It started getting a little dark to play so we were only able to golf through the 15th hole, but it was really a nice experience. Wish we could always golf like that!
