Bastrop, TX

Too hot to hike. Too hot to do anything outside after 11am, actually.


So before 11, I went to the rec hall and had a free breakfast. This cute little park provides Saturday breakfast to thank all the tenants! What a grand business idea!!


Then ventured to Home Depot for a GFCI outlet - anyone want to come to TX to install for this "girl"? Electrical outlets scare the begeebies out of me. If you don't know, as a kid we had an electrical fire that burned up the 2nd floor of our home. So now I "freeze" (one of the 4 trauma responses) whenever I try to do anything with electrical connections. My brother, however, is unfazed... but he is in Houston and I am in Bastrop!


Here are a few pics of downtown Bastrop. Quite disappointing, really. If you are in to quaint little river towns, I suggest Golden, Colorado. Bastrop just didn't do anything to ignite my spirit.


Found an Insta-grill at Home Depot and dined on steak and red wine this evening. Hoping to sleep past 5am (will be the first time in 2 weeks if I can accomplish).


Definitely a need for darkening curtains in the SueCanDo bedroom. The day/night shades do NOT block out neighbors porch lights.


Blessed to be on the road! Wish it wasn't 100 degrees out there - I wanted to go hiking in Bastrop State Park! Oh well... back to the internet for entertainment. Until I fix the GFCI outlet, no TV (which is not a bad thing since I don't have cable) LOLLOL Life on the road!

SueCanDo, named by a dear friend who departed this planet much too young, will strive to be a place for inspiration, clarity and enlightenment. My friend and I  had just reconnected and were having daily emails and weekly conversations that lasted long into the early mornings.

 

Still hundreds of miles away, I was looking forward to finally spending quality time with him after decades of missing his stories and hugs in person. A brief weekend in April, 2018, confirmed we were going to have many great adventures. Then he had an accident on one of his favorite motorcycles on one of his favorite roads after having just eaten his favorite hamburger at his favorite joint on 101 in northern CA. The shock has worn off, but I still miss what should have been.

 

So Mike, thanks to you and your "beady brain", here is SueCanDo, even without you the name lives on!

And, these are the Grand Adventures, after the Grand Purge, leading up to quality time with my Grand Babies!! This is a record for them to one day review and laugh with "Gammie"!
