Chili San Antonio

Our plan was to wait for a long weekend and use our volunteer bump voucher from S.W. Airlines to fly to California and see Cleda. When the time came, the flight bargains had gone away. What we could afford was a quick trip to San Antonio on the cheap. While we were there, we missed the once-in-every-200 years-snow-fall in SE Texas. There was no snow in the Alamo City, but it was plenty chilly.

Our hotel was a four block trot to the Riverwalk which was all decked out with Christmas lights. We visited all our favorite haunts including a great German deli; Shilo's for some yummy Sauerbraten and red cabbage.

October in Texas

A lot has happened since my last post in May. I lost one job and found a new one. My new work schedule has kept us close to home for most of the summer, but we managed a visit to the Texas Renfest in October. No, Millie did not R-U-N-N-O-F-T with this medieval Santa. She did make him smile by buying some of his jewelery.

As is our usual custom, we met up with our dear friends Pat & Jerry from Bryan, They were good enough to help us eat and drink way too much.
