We had a mahvelous time. If anyone is ever thinking of visiting Salado overnight, you must go to Inn on the Creek. Besides it being delightfully luxurious, the staff were fabulous and the food fantastic.
The Inn is a compound of four historic homes moved to Salado from other places in Texas. We were in the Holland House--moved from Holland, Texas, doncha know.
I didn't take photos, and of course now I'm regretful, but a couple of my sisters did. I'm hoping Daisy will post some on her site soon. (Above and below are shots from the Inn's home page.)
The first night was the night of my booboo, a squishy-squashed finger, and I lay down with a book around eightish because of the throbbing. When Billie came in for the night, she was bubbling over. She and Ginger and Alice went down to the creek. There are hammocks there, and it was just the three of them and Alice, our sedate little Alice, got a little kooky. That, I hated missing, as well as the fact that They Saw Fireflies! I've not seen one in ages.
This is a shot I found on the 'net of Salado Creek viewed from Inn on the Creek. Looks as if it's set up for a wedding. Gorgeous, innit?
The second morning we were there, we were sitting on the front porch of the house where our rooms were...
This lady is a boot collector, as is Daisy's hub. Wish I could have recorded their conversation about boots, but then I wish I could have recorded the entire weekend.
The lady came by again the last morning we were there, bringing cookies as a traveling gift. How sweet was that? So I decided to make a card as thanks.
I needlefelted the boot.
Inside I wrote a line from a Jim Reeves song, A Stranger is Just a Friend, with a tad bit of artistic license taken. I'm wondering if I should stamp Thanks on the first page. Secondly, should I print the saying out on paper and glue it on? While I have a passable handwriting, and as is it certainly says personal and handcrafted, it lacks a certain professionalism.
What say you? I'd love to hear comments. (And thanks in advance.)

If that's your handwriting, I'd say leave it as it is. It's very good.
A little small "thanks" on the front by the boot might look good. I don't think it's lacking professionalism. I think it looks great and I'd be happy to get something like that.
I love golden retrievers. They are just big ol' puddles of love. My neighbor has 2 and I pet them through our fence. They wish that we had a gate between our fences so they could come over to my yard and talk to me. They're owners aren't home very much and they need more attention.
Hi there Glad you caught the lampshade lesson this morning. I'll be lining and trimming in the next few day. If you have any specific questions though, don't hesitate to ask. It's not easy!!
Best........Kathi
