I was hoping to go to the County Courthouse first thing in the morning to beat the heat but things do not always turn out as you plan them. Needed to cast my vote for a special election as well as purchase my car license tags.
The original HEB which has been across the street from the Courthouse since we moved to Del Rio saved me a trip to the Big HEB (as locals refer to it). Yesterday we reached 109 degrees and today 110 degrees both of which were record breakers. I took a pre-chilled cooler along with ice so I could buy ice cream and even that was not enough to keep it from going soft.
I hope nothing else comes up tomorrow so I can spend some time chilling indoors.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

San Antonio Shoemakers
I received an unexpected e-mail earlier this week from San Antonio Shoemakers better known as SAS. At first I thought it was a joke but I checked it out and it is legitimate. A lady named Christina Gauna in their Marketing & Advertising Department sent me a very nice e-mail thanking me for mentioning them on my blog post http://terlinguadreams.blogspot.com/2014/08/i-cheated.html
I was so surprised that a company of their stature would take the time to send me a thank you note that it made my day. It also made mother's day as she was busy checking out their new catalog :)
I need to go to the grocery store as we are low on everything but I just have no get up and go. I am not going to complain about the heat since there are others out there that are having it worst that me. I can at least hide out in the A/C.
Remember last month I went and got my license tags a week before the end of the month? Well, it was for not...as I have not gotten around to removing the old decal and applying the new one. With my luck I will get pulled over, all because of my laziness!
I am not even going to mention the five sacks of mulch that are still in the back of my trunk. I need to move my heavy duty ice chest that holds my Kodiak canvas tent and sweep the area real well so I can put the sacks there. I only want to have to do this once but it's beginning to look like I will have to do it twice as next week is almost here and we have two out-of-town trips on the agenda. However, there is no motivation on my part to do anything...sigh...where is my tall weathered cowboy with an iron clad back to do the heavy lifting?

An exhausting day
Got up early to take care of all the errands and chores I did not get to yesterday. I am pretty beat from all the research I have been doing on mother's chronic back pain, the heat and just plain physical fatigue.
Drove dad's old car into town and rolled both windows down...actually the heat was not so bad using this arrangement but then again it was only 98 degrees at the time.
True to my procrastinating ways...I usually put off buying my license plate tags to the last minute. Was expecting a big crowd but there was only one person in front of me. Living in a small town does have its advantages.
Went by the hospital to pick up a copy of mother's MRI for her upcoming appointment in San Angelo, Texas. It paid to call ahead of time or I would have had to make two trips. Was told I had to take a letter signed by her authorizing me to pick this up on her behalf along with her picture I.D. as well as mine. It is good to see they have measures in place to protect patients records.
I went to HEB to pick up a couple of items, was going to use their free phone to call Mom. It appears that either it was not working or they disconnected it :-( Oh well...I am still not going to buy a cell phone!
For my European readers who ask that I keep posting the gasoline prices in the States...here are the going prices in Del Rio, Texas today. I apologize for the poor quality...I took them through a dirty windshield! Click on the pictures to enlarge.
Late this afternoon I took a two hour nap, got up at 9:00 p.m. and had to go water the trees and plants that are looking pathetic with the three digit temperatures we have been experiencing lately. It took me two hours to water them and I could have probably stayed out there a little longer.
