Christmas Eve

Tuesday, December 24, 2019 - Indianapolis, IN

This afternoon we headed for Indianapolis for Mass and our annual visit to Kazan Japanese Steakhouse.  Each year the place is more crowded then the last.  More and more people have decided this is a good place to go on Christmas Eve.  This year one of the exhaust hoods quit working and we were not all able to sit close to each other.  But as always the food was very good!

It was another wonderful day!

We were up early this morning and left Von Ormy, TX around 6AM headed fro VAlparaiso, IN.  It was a beautiful sunset this evening.

It took us about 20 hours, but we arrived in Valaparaiso safe and sound just before 2AM.

It was another wonderful day.

Lunch at Benjamin's Kitchen

Friday, December 20, 2019 - San Antonio, TX

The couple in the rig next to us recommended Benjamin's Kitchen for lunch.  It is a small restaurant just down the street from the campground.  They are only open for breakfast and lunch, so today we went there for lunch.  It was very good.

It was another wonderful day!

Dinner with Ed and Diane

Monday, December 16, 2019 - San Antonio, TX

This evening we met Ed and Diane at Lupe's Tortilla for dinner.  It was great to see Ed and Diane again.  Dinner was good, but catching up was great!

It was another wonderful day!

Dinner with Dave

Sunday, December 15, 2019 - San Antonio, TX

Today we drove down to McAllen to have an early dinner with Dave.  We went to Red Barn BBQ. 

Dinner was good, but being able to catch up with Dave was even better!!  He and Mike worked closely together for the last 3 years in Nogales, Sonora and Reynosa, Tamaulipas.  Mike finished his tenure in Reynosa in June, 2019 and David is wrapping his up the end of December.  We ended up talking for so long, they had to ask us to leave as they were closing.  :)  We had a great time.  We then headed back up to Von Ormy.

It was another wonderful day!

Moved to San Antonio

Saturday, December 14, 2019 - San Antonio, TX

Today we headed for Hidden Valley RV Park in San Antonio.

This evening they had a get-together/campfire at the pavilion.  They had a nice turn out and we had a really nice time.

It was another wonderful day!

Missed Picture

Thursday, December 12, 2019 - Waco, TX

This afternoon we headed for the Waco Visitor Center.  The whole reason I wanted to go here was because I read in the Visitor Guide they had a cardboard cut out of Chip and Joanna to take your  picture with.  I know it is a silly reason, but I wanted a picture.  :)  Here is the Visitor Center.  It is right next to the Texas Ranger Museum, but it was closed on Sunday.

Well when we went in I looked around and did not see the cut out, so I asked the lady at the desk and she said they don't have it any more.  I told her it was in the guide and she said "Yes, but they got rid of it".  I also looked to see if they had any iron on patches for Waco.  They just had ones for Texas.  The trip was a bust.  :)

When we left Mike was laughing at me, because he did not know the only reason we went there was so I could get a picture with a cardboard cut out of Chip and Joanna.  :)

I also took a picture of the sign for the Texas Ranger Museum.

When we got back to the trailer we took Gracie for a walk and while we were walking along the street behind the RV Park a guy in a pick up truck stops and rolls down his window.  At first we were a little concerned, then he said is that a Sheba?  Come to find out he had a white Sheba and Gracie was the first one other than his that he had seen in the area..  We stopped by his house and met his Sheba, Relson.  Gracie did not seem to mind him and allowed us to take a couple of pictures.

It was another wonderful day!
