We leave 4 May for KC to Arrive 5 May....all went well...no storms or such...get there to prepare for Grandsons graduation the coming Saturday and Open House party on Sunday....then leave for Charleston and SIL's Retirement ......

Its 2am(Sunday) and we're up starting the Pork Butt and Brisket...tell the Bride I can handle it and that she can go get her "Beauty Sleep"...not a smart thing to say.....woe is me...By the time morning comes my ankle, feet and hands are swollen....they have been getting that way since getting here....but this is getting to a level I don't want to deal with...I make a decision....we are going back to Texas after we get the Food over to the party.....call my Daughter/SIL in Charleston and tell them what's happening and that I don't want to stress them out with a ER visit on the way or at Charleston...they understand, we leave Sunday afternoon and get home Monday...we did run from a storm that hit Big Time in Texas...and we also saw that a storm was heading East...so we my not have been able to go to Charleston anyway....oh well..I've made an appt....and sometime in June we will make the Charleston trip...

So here I was, getting down on missing out on some good times...decided to do a day tour of three of the San Antonio Missions....it pumped me up....so I leave you with a smile and some photo's.....until next time, Horst sends
What beautiful pictures, Horst!!! I am glad you got to attend the graduation but so sorry you had to cut your trip short. I hope the issue has resolved itself and you are no longer having the problem. Take care of yourself!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words...things are starting to head in the right direction...enjoyed your wedding post...terrific venue ....awesome couple..and really proud parents.. :) have a super week...Horst sends
DeleteYou did leave a smile on my face. Sorry for the loss of family time, but sure enjoyed the pics. Hope you're doing much better now that you're back in the Lone Star state.

DeleteBeautiful photos, Horst. Loved the missions tour. Nice way to make lemonade out of lemons.
ReplyDeleteHope you are better than new soon! :)
Thanks Sharon...I Like your "Lemonade out of lemons" line...I'm smiling....your latest adventure was fun following and gave me some places to visit on my trip back East...Have a awesome week ...Horst sends
DeleteEnjoyed the photos....now I need to visit San Antonio and experience these wonderful missions.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your health challenges......unfortunately they are the price we pay for living so long. I always try to remember the alternative!
Keep on entertaining us with your lovely photos!
Thanks for your kind words...you are right about health/aging...I use to say that if I'd known I was going to live this long I would have paced myself better...though now I say I should have probably "ran them" harder...haha...oh well this too shall pass...I just want to get on the "back roads of Adventure"...soonest...take care ...Horst sends
DeleteYou are so right...the Missions are grand pieces of Art work...I never tire of them...they do require almost constant upkeep...but its worth it..whats also interesting is that most Missions also had a farm/ranch they owned...to make the Mission self sufficient...sorry to hear things aren't all you had hoped for....wishing you Two only the BEST...have a safe and enjoyable weekend...Horst sends
