On To Retama

As always, Fredericksburg was a great stopover on our way to the RGV.  Along with Rod, Deb, Garry and Pat, we had lots of fun visiting,

eating,

and shopping.

And, as always, with friends the time passes by all too fast and yesterday we had to say so long to Rod and Deb as they headed out to Rockport.  We too were heading out and on to Retama, our winter home in the RGV.  Garry and Pat were staying in Fredericksburg for another couple of days.

We had an uneventful trip and arrived at Retama early afternoon.  We were soon

parked and had things all set up.

This morning, Mark was out early and ready to get started with the

clipping and snipping of the shrubs.  I started in on the cleaning for the coach house and the laundry.

This afternoon, Kathy and I helped out in the club house with the making of the Bierocks, a German meat pie, that would be part of

our Octoberfest Dinner tonight.

It is fun being back

and seeing friends that have become like family.  We are looking forward to a great season here at our winter home in the RGV.

Drop by occasionally, and see what's happening!
