Hello faithful readers! Sorry for no postings for so long. We were visiting with our friends from St. Louis who came down to Kerrville ....and we had a ball! Have lots to post about it...but it will have to wait. We are kind of in the middle of nowhere tonight and have veeerrry slow internet. I will be unable to put any pictures up with this connection. But we drove around and explored the cute little towns in the area around Kerrville for 3 days....one of those days took a tour of the LBJ ranch and the Texas Whitehouse there. That day we also went to Luckenbach and had a beer with Willie, Waylon and the boys! Well...not really but there was entertainment...and we did have a beer! Thanks George for telling us about that! Pics of all these events will follow. And that day we explored Fredericksburg also. Another day we drove into San Antonio and spent the day there....saw lots and had lots of fun. Walked a lot and were very tired at the end of the day! Pics of that to come too. So...hold on...more will be coming!!
We are near the town of Mason today...on the Llano River. We explored the cute historic town of Mason. Lots of history.....one of the many towns in this area founded by German immigrants in the early 1800's. Beautiful town square...lots of old stone buildings and houses. There was a fort here too...but it now is gone. Pics will follow. We enjoyed the day but the slow internet is frustrating....no faster then dial up here.....yuck! We will stay here tomorrow and then move to another area a bit further north. We are just about 30 miles north of Fredericksburg now...so moving very slowly. But not willing to get back in cold weather!
It has been nice and warm here...but still very, very windy...and very, very dry! They are having the worst drought in recordable history and everything is parched and brown. The rivers are all very low and lots of creeks are totally dry. They are praying for rain...and really need it. There is a small chance that it will rain here the next 3 days. Then will turn cooler. When that happens we will head to Missouri. Tomorrow we plan to explore the town of Llano...which is suppose to be another historic little town. They all have cute restaurants with great food and lots of neat shops...including some antique shops where Mike has found a few bargains.
Hang in there....pics will be posted as soon as Monday or Tuesday. Talk again then....Judy
