“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once and a
while, you could miss it.” Ferris Bueler
One thing we learned on our journeys this
summer is that there is so much out there to see. And now that we are back in Texas we have
realized that there is still so much here in our great state that we have not
seen. Over the next several months our plans will be to travel around Texas
enjoying our state parks while we are reconnecting with friends and
family. We will be passing through the
San Antonio area often this winter to visit everyone (maybe not all at the same
time) and we hope to convince some of you to take off a few days and go camping
with us.

Right after Thanksgiving, we stayed for a
couple of days at Guadalupe River State Park. We did a little visiting with
friends and former co-workers and took care of a little business – David had to
go to Chuy’s. He was desperate for a
Chuy’s steak burrito. After all, it had
been over 5 months for a guy who went to Chuy’s at least a couple of times a
month for 14 years. David was in heaven
and though I am not as addicted to Chuy’s as David, I’ll have to admit the ‘Boom-Boom’
Enchiladas did taste very good.
