There are still kind-hearted souls around

Time and time again I notice that if I have a busy day the next day I am dragging, the same held true for yesterday. Since the only thing I bought in Ciudad Acuña on Tuesday was hot sauce I needed to make a grocery run to HEB.

I needed to buy things that are mostly found at the main HEB store. I have found that besides arriving early in the morning (which is not something I like to do) arriving after the lunch hour rush between 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. it is less crowded.

By now most of you know about my issues with insomnia. A couple of months ago I tried Peppermint Tea and found it relaxed me and allowed me to go to sleep with less effort.  I have tried to find it in Mexico and was surprised that the teas they had were imported from the USA or Europe and were not cheap.


Today I found some as well as one that calls itself Sleepytime Herbal Tea.  I did not buy it but need to look into it.


I wrote about the stray cats at HEB on a prior post a couple of years ago. There were at least a dozen or so the last time I spotted them but today there was only one.


There is now a chain link fence and he is in the space that was once a former dealership and that HEB bought and demolished but he can go around the fence and easily eat or drink the food and water kind-hearted souls or perhaps even HEB employees leave for them.



You can tell the food bowls are new and I was so happy to see that someone had left them plenty of water.  That made my day :)


I wanted to make a quick stop at Dollar Tree but the skies looked menacing so I headed home.  Got there just in time to bring the clothes in from the clothesline, feed my own strays and then the skies opened up. With all the rain we have had lately I have no more room in my rain catchment, therefore, could not save anymore.

Good night,  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


NBA Corner

I was so tired I kept on dozing off during the Rockets vs Golden State Warriors game last night that I decided to tape it so I would not miss out on anything important.  This morning I re-watched the second quarter and could not believe the Rockets could not pull off a win with Durant out of the line-up and how few points James Harden, as well as CP3, scored in that interval.

I hate to say this to my Houston real life friends but I think GSW wins in six...sure hope I am wrong!
