Still here in Texas and following the weather reports back home with mixed feelings. We're glad we are not there but feel badly for those that are having to shovel in the very cold temps and drive in the snow. On the other hand, we will miss the beauty of a white Christmas (at least so say the local weather prognosticators). Another cold front hit us at 4 AM today with colder temps and high winds (low 40's and 30-50 MPH Gusts). I won't even try to calculate "wind chill" as it would still pale by comparison to the temps in Detroit, Spokane, Rockton and even the Portland/Seattle areas "actual" temperatures.
We have had a great time in San Antonio visiting with Al and Cecelia (Eddies folks) and touring the downtown Riverwalk. It was beautiful at night last week with Al & Cecelia and again yesterday AM when Lou and I went to see it before the weather system came to town. Pics attached.
Al and Cecelia have made our visit very pleasant. Lou has learned to heat tortillas for the lunch fajitas and Al showed me around the garden (that is a better term for what he calls his yard). He has a marvelous variety of plants, bushes and flowers in addition to the 3 pecan trees in the back yard. He has managed to collect some interesting plants like milkweed which is the favorite of the Monarch butterflies. One even came with a caterpillar that turned out to be a Monarch. Their graciousness and hospitality have made our visit to San Antonio a real pleasure.
We are now awaiting the arrival of Cyndi, Eddie and the kids from Detroit. They are scheduled to come in this afternoon and we are "patiently" waiting to see them. It will be a great Christmas here and we hope that it will be for you all also.
It was a bit warm in the RV when we returned from the Riverwalk yesterday so Lou took her sewing machine outside to do a little quilting work. No outside quilting today as it's very windy and the RV is rocking from the gusts.
