Sierra Blana, TX
Yesterday was a dream day – only 50 miles & this private family took the Wheels group in again – gave us the run of the house & pool. Fixed lunch (fresh shrimp, etc) took us all out for dinner & had bkfst @ 5:30.Today was 95 miles of wind & UMC here served us supper – their 4th time. We are also sleeping in their social room. They told me that entertaining the Wheels group was one of their year's highlights. The coach is back from China – said they almost revolted last year in not wanting to cycle more.

Hi, Everybody –Another 100+ mile day (108 to be exact) at least we have a slow weekend to recuperate.
We are staying in a Texas Park tonight – we have 4 spaces – for some seem to prefer to sleep on the bus.
My "computer" turned a 1,000 today & next week will be our midpoint. At least the BIG hills are in the past.
At the U.M.C. last night I asked if their UMW was serving the meal & she said the whole church was – as they have 31 members. They really put on a feast for us – had name tags for everyone. 1 of the members is a judge, but who is not an attorney. The whole county – 3rd largest in TX has 2300 people. The 5&6 grade is combined & has a total of 17 students. The town advertises "The World's Best Climate" & always a breeze – which usually seems to be blowing against us.
Had letter from C.M. & a brief note from W.J.M.
