A few week-ends ago, we decided to go on a day trip to Fredricksburg, Luckenbach and to Boerne...a few stops included the Wildseed Farm, they have such good jellys and preserves there. After that we proceeded to Luckenbach, just in time for a longhorn to "run" by us(and I do mean RUN), so we followed him, getting to sit on him and take a few pictures! Dale and I had fun in the not so big General Store, we shopped a little, warmed up to the old time stove, while Mike and Doug looked around outside.
After Luckenbach we drove to Boerne to a famous restuarant where there are plates from all over the world, called Popos--food was good, atmosphere was really interesting...Thank you Jim for mentioning it to me, I grew up in Kerrville and probably have gone there when I was younger but don't remember the place.
We have such good friends to travel with and have fun, they love us and our children and grand-daughters like their own as do we with their children and family.
Happy 75th Birthday to papa, we sure surprised him!
We invited his "39ers" from church, a host of other friends and relatives....everyone met at ElFenix in Grapevine, his fav restaurant...we had his youngest daughter Robin come in on a bus all the way from Virginia by surprise also---the highlight of the night was when papa got to the restaurant, he was just looking around, greeting people when finally he saw Robin, the look on his face was priceless! And not to mention the video of his life, lots of tears then!
Papa had friends from church, from his neighborhood, all his children, most of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren there...was a very special night!
