Original Hay Settlers
Not a lot to report today. After scoring really excellent doughnuts from the Snowflake bakery for breakfast, I visited the local cemetery to find the graves of the Hay ancestors. There are quite a few very old tombstones there, some dating back to the Texas Revolution. The first Hays to settle in Bandera, Alexander and Jessie, are buried in the cemetery.
After photographing the Hay stones, I ran errands, went home, made this killer grilled chicken with a cilantro lime pesto over rice, and tidied up the house. We had friends Chris and Shannon over for supper and chatted with them for a while. Now we’re watching a movie and taking it easy.
Tomorrow is laundry day. Ugh! It’s been so hot of late that the very idea of packing up all the clothes and hauling them across the street to the laundromat is unappealing. Still, must be done.
