March 8, Robson Ranch Denton TX, Day 8, Saturday

Today was Ranch exploration day. We toured the model homes. Always nice to do, it has many nice homes. A special lot has an up price of a quarter million, we are think of it but can’t decide on what house to put on it. I was surprised to find that they build to your spec and that 15 to 20 % add-ons is normal. It takes 7 to 9 months to build and you select lot exposure. Patty drove us around the expanse, saw a nice yellow C-5 convert black top, she said this guy was getting a new one and that there is a club on site.

We picked up lunch at the Grill, Shirleen’s sliced beef sandwich looked great and so did my catfish poor bo. Accompanied by onion rings and beer batter – light – French fries. We went back to home and washed our week’s clothes, nice thing to do without plugging quarters.

Off we went to Southlake mall for dinner. We went overland and saw many really large trophy houses and expansive overlooks and acreage. We got turned around and what should appear behind me is a cop. So I hit the flashers and got out to find out if we had to turn back, which we did. Glad we did this as when I climbed back in the car a Masserati buzzed by, a nice four door with a distinctive roar of an engine.

We found the Steakhouse but 930 was earliest reservation. Went to Brio’s Tuscan, Restaurant the Italian one our guide tolds us about. We had an hour and a half wait but took seating in a non-smoking bar. Great food I would recommend. Shirleen had medallions of pork tenderloin with a reduced demi glaze with mushrooms and stuff. I had lobster risotto, just fine. Would recommend this place. It reminded us of a open street mall we went with Michelle and Mark around Milwaukee.

Probably going to Fort Worth today. Jerr
