Pay It Forward

 We’re in Aubrey, Texas, an hour or so north of Dallas. We’re here to see friends that we have known for years, and who are running into some serious health issues. We cannot offer much more than support and good wishes, but sometimes that’s what is needed. One day we will need a helping hand and a kind word, so we’re more than happy to check in for a few days.

We’re staying at Shady Creek RV Park and Storage. 260 sites in a 10/10/10 rated park provide a comfortable place to settle in for a few days. There are amenities galore, a huge grass dog park, a swimming pool and social center. We’ve been assigned a site in an area with long term residents, and it’s great; a site with a lot of grass that backs up to a fence on the property’s edge. Perfect!

As I write this, we’ve been here two days, and it’s the Fourth of July, the 250th birthday of America! It’s also Sasha’s 11th birthday, so she had a treat. She has developed a liking for Pup Cups, so here we go!

Since it’s Independence Day, we’re enjoying second hand fireworks from around the area. It has been said that Fourth of July celebrations in Texas are spectacular, and if Sasha’s reaction to the loud noises is any indicator, that’s true! Hang on, Sasha, it will be over soon!

White we wait for calm to return to Texas, I must tell you about a lunch to be remembered! Perry’s in Frisco is world renowned as a steak and chop house. Our friend Mary made reservations for lunch at this very popular restaurant so we put on our best duds and checked in.

Let’s start with a photo of their famous pork chop:

Three ribs thick, 12 hours in preparation, with a brown sugar glaze, this chop arrives with signature mashed potatoes. We added an order of smoked brussels sprouts (gotta try to be healthy, you know), and carved away.

It was impossible to eat slowly when the food is prepared so well, but we tried! 

As you can tell, we enjoyed our Perry’s experience!

We’re going to have a special time with our friends, so I’ll report back from time to time as we have new experiences. This is a sad, melancholy, but wonderful time. Stay with us.
