The radio served up some great songs from the '90s as we cruised along the highway toward the town of Marble Falls for the Sweey Berry Farm Texas Maze. Oddly enough, there were no berries to be found at the farm, only pumpkins. And LOTS of them. The largest cost $25. Kids were sitting on pumpkins and rolling around in the haystacks.

The maze took us 1hour15mins. We had to find 12 'towns' and get our cards punched at every stop. By the 6th town, I'd had enough of the blazing sun and walls of cornstalks. But with Rebecca's gifted leadership we soldiered on and found the last 6 towns in 15 mins. After that, of course, the sun was brilliant and the maze was beautiful. We got free pink lemonade too. Mm.
Apart from a really good time at Marble Falls, I was blessed with a really pleasant surprise today. I went to pick up a parcel from the Post Office, which the postman had tried to deliver twice before. It turned out to be a Creative webcam from Skype, as a prize in their September Back To College Giveaway! The last time I won something significant was a trip to Phuket in a children's contest by the Singapore Zoo. Haha. It's been a while. Thanks Skype!
So yes. Today was a good day of 'recharging' after a rather draining week. I'm all ready for the week ahead. In about 6 hours I will be taking part in the Great MG Gals Five Timezone Chat (with participants in Singapore, US, UK, Canada and Australia) and I'm wondering if I'll be awake enough to actually contribute anything significant to the conversation.
Alright, I'm going back to digging for deeper layers of meaning in the Disney Hercules movie for my Greece/Rome: FIlm and Reality class. Miss you guys.
