Livin' Our Dream...: Beautiful Sunday ride

We woke yesterday to cooler temps and lower humidity - what a nice break from the heat we've been having! Kenneth is in the process of re-doing the porch (a post on that later!) and even though we didn't have any screens or walls, he did leave the table and chairs so we could have coffee and apple fritters out back. I put a roast in the slow cooker and we headed out into the cool of the morning. What a beautiful day it was! We headed to Longview for lunch at The Butcher Shop. Got behind a large group of riders but they were headed in another direction. After lunch, we rode through the Texas back country and found Los Pinos Vineyards. The Shreveport-Bossier Riding Club was planning a ride there so we thought we'd meet up with them. We went to the tasting room and found a wine we both liked so back out to the porch we went and got a bottle of wine and a margherita pizza. Very nice place to sit and enjoy the breeze, nice wine and a slice of pizza. We brought most of the pizza home because we were still kind of full from lunch and had a roast cooking for dinner! On our way across the parking lot to leave, the other riders showed up so we chatted with them for a few minutes, then they went to eat and we headed for home. It was beginning to warm up and the heat from the road was much more noticeable but there was still a nice, cool hint in the air. After a seven hour day, we were home safe, thank the Lord...and dinner was all cooked and waiting for us!
