"Twas the week before Christmas...."

A happy week!

Mike left Georgia around noon on Sunday, stopped to visit a friend in Birmingham, then drove all night, arriving in San Antonio on Monday afternoon--about 48 hours before I expected him to arrive..

On Tuesday night, I went to a Blind Boys of Alabama concert with Freda, Bonnie and Grant. It was a rousing, upbeat concert of gospel music.  I bought Mike a CD of their music and we've been dancing to gospel music in the kitchen!

 Yesterday we drove Highway 90 to Castroville, on to Hondo to visit Linda Quintero, then stopped at Sabinal to look at old wood for a project we're working on, winding up in Utopia for dinner at the cafe.

I love this crazy man!
