“Out in Lukenbach, Texas, there ain’t nobody feelin’ no
pain,” so the country-western lyrics go.
There really is a Lukenbach, Texas.
It’s only about an hour’s drive from here, but until yesterday, neither
Bob nor I had ever been there. I fell in love with the old oak tree in front of what used to be a Post Office until 1971.
If you blink, you’ll miss the turn off to it. Signs for sale in the souvenir store say the
population is 3 and they may not be exaggerating.
It was a fun jaunt for us and Bob was nice
enough to let me spend some time (and money) in a quilt shop along the route. Here is my loot.
The large green cut is for a backing to the Jill Finley
quilt I’ve been working on. The rest are
just fabrics that made me feel happy.
It was overcast all day and when we got home around 3:00
or so, I had to take a picture of the outside thermometer. Mid-seventies in a Central Texas July
afternoon are extremely rare, and appreciated.

Fun day! I am loving these few cooler days in July too.
Sounds like a lot of fun to me!
