Today Barbara and I visited the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. We met up with an old high school friend of mine, Keith, and his lovely wife, Janice. We enjoyed lunch at Bubba Gump’s, took a boat ride around the Riverwalk, enjoyed some ice cream and caught up on old times. Great Day!

Today the outside temperature is below 75 degrees and so is the humidity, so Barbara took the short drive to the Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Park in the town of Conroe. This is a really nice park that respectfully pays tribute to our military veterans past, present and future. Take a look!

We ate at the Wunsche Cafe’ and Saloon in Spring, Texas. Legend has it that the cafe’ is haunted, butContinue reading “Lake Conroe Sunset”
