We had a busy day yesterday by our standards. Carol, Dana and Kate took off in the am to find a seamstress who would alter a few things for Dana and Kate. A little after they left, Mike said let's go to Barnes and Noble and get us a Starbucks. We were out the door in a flash. I hadn't realized that this set up combined two of his favorite things, a cup of strong coffee and a store full of books. Unbelievably, when we arrived back at the house, the girls were already pulling back in.
The four of us then headed over to a bird santuary on the Mexican border on the east side of town and took about a three mile walk. We saw quite a number of birds, most of which we couldn't identify. There were some egrets, great blue herons, ravens and quail. At one point, it seemed birds were jumping out everywhere.
Later on, Carol and Mike took all of us out to dinner at Cattleman's, a truly excellent establishment. The meal was great. I had the Wagonmaster, a pound and a quarter t-bone grilled to a perfect medium rare. It may have been the best steak I ever had the privaledge of cutting into. All of us enjoyed great meals. The place holds 400 and had a waiting line of 40 or 50 as we exited. Anyone who gets in range of El Paso should do whatever they need to do to get there.
Something else of interest: the area near Fort Bliss is being expanded to accomodate 30,000 more troops and 100,000 more people including families and support personal. Desert training.
