January 23, 2011--Abilene, TX.

Sunday is a day of rest and that is what we did. We went to a very nice church in Ablilene called the Holy Family Catholic Church. They had a mass at 9 am and when we arrived for the 10:30 mass at 10:05 the parishiners from the 9 am mass were in the nartex having a coffee and doughnuts social hour. They were all very friendly and were enjoying each others company.

Walt did some socializing with the RV'ers in the park this morning when he was walking Bart. He talked to a man who was here to hunt wild boar. He said they had been hunting in this area for many years. There are wild boar all over the area and a female can have as many as 20 piglets a year. They have no enemies in the wild since they are very vicious and powerful. Everyone is lower on the food chain. There are some red fox but they stay away from the wild boar.

Walt also talked to a man who was moving polo ponies to California. He had a huge horse trailer which had 3 polo ponies, 3 plain horses and l extra horse on the trailer. The horses stayed on the trailer last night and were going to be able to leave the trailer tohight.

We did some R and R this afternoon and Walt is watching the Jets and Steelers game at this time. The first game today he was not able to get on the TV because of our reception. We have cable and local stations which adds up to about 1 station we like to watch. They have a lot of different sports and many many cartoon stations. The internet is fine, so I have been catching up on a lot of monthly things I do each month on the computer.

Tomorrow is a day of travel to Amarillo, TX. We plan to stay there for a week at least. We will decide to stay longer if we still have places to visit. Maybe I will find some more quilt shops.

Goodnight.
