2018.01.20-Welfare, TX


2018.01.20-Welfare, TX

We stayed in Welfare, TX, while we ‘regrouped’ for the start of the year.  While there, Jerry had the oil changed for the coach and we got a new coach windshield.  The windshield folks came to us and replaced it at the campground site.  Pretty cool.

While we were regrouping, I met with Kathleen and Jody in Comfort, TX for a ‘coffee service’ at the Elephant Store (see https://the-elephant-story.com/).  It was interesting and FUN!  We laughed and laughed.  I mean, if you are drinking coffee that had been ‘processed through an elephant’, wouldn’t you laugh!???

The coffee was made in a lovely rose-gold coffee set made in Belgian (of course, Amazon has these-Belgian Royal Family balance Syphon Coffee Maker Elegant Retro-Style Design in Rose Gold).  Somehow the water boiled, which pushed the hot water through the coffee, then when the steam cooled, it syphoned the coffee out??  I don’t think that is actually the process, but it was fascinating to watch and drink!

While in the Elephant Story store, we learned that they are collecting crocheted or knitted blankets for the elephants.  So, my next adventure is to knit an elephant blanket.  That is, after I complete another project that I had already started.
