San Antonio week 2

The weather has been really good, some days in the 80's and then a front blew through, nights were in the 40's. What God did was create beautiful clouds through all that weather. He is so sweet to remind us that weather will change, but He will not.

"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the 
Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." James 1:17 (NASB)

We had a special guest this week. We haven't seen Tim or Tressa in seven months, but Tim drove from Houston to San Antonio on Thursday! We had dinner Thursday night at the rig and Mari and Mario joined us. It was truly an amazing time spent with them. My sister-in-law, Del, had made lumpia and I froze it so that we could all enjoy it together. Since, we had that, I went ahead and made chicken stir-fry with fried rice. Good food, great company!

Friday, after hubby was off from work, Tim, hubby and I went to the Pearl Brewery. The brewery was established 1883 in downtown San Antonio, TX. In 1985, Pearl's parent company purchased Pabst Brewing Company and assumed the Pabst name. In 1999, the Pabst Brewing Company began transferring its production to Miller Brewing. Pearl beer is still made at the Fort Worth, TX facility. Pearl closed its doors in San Antonio, but in 2001 Sliver Ventures, Inc., transformed the property to the crown jewel in revitalization efforts. There are cute shops, good restaurants and a beautiful hotel named Emma. 
 
Emma Koehler ran Pearl brewery after her husband, Otto, was killed in 1914. Fun fact: Emma kept the brewery up and running through Prohibition by making near beer, ice cream and soda. After Prohibition ended, the brewery went back to full production and became the largest brewery in the South. Emma remained the CEO until 1942, she was amazing age of 84 when she retired.

Getting ready for Christmas...

But still enjoying Fall

Really nice place and fun to walk around

Saturday came sooner than expected for me. Time to say good-bye to Tim and hello to South Texas. We will be staying in Mission, Texas for the next two weeks. It will be really good to see family we haven't seen for a while.

Our site for the next two weeks

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
