Kelli - Texas - Wine Tasting

For whatever reason I can't seem to post these pictures in order. This is Phyllis' place in Texas. It's an adorable guest house in Fredericksburg which is between Austin and San Antonio. It's great to take a relaxing bubble bath after wearing yourself out shopping all the great stores in this fun tourist town.


There really is a Luckenback Texas that Willie Nelson sings about. Dooley's is the old fashioned five and dime store in town. It has everything - remember those?



Phyllis made me hike this huge mountain - actually it's about 500 feet up this solid granite rock which is the largest piece of granite in the United States. It's called Enchanted Rock and I almost made it to the top. Going up was not too bad but it's pretty steep coming down!!!



This is the front yard of a bed and breakfast where deers roam with miniature donkeys, camels (yes, camels) and ostrich. They all seem to get along pretty well.



BarBQ is serious business here in Texas. It looked so good we ordered an obscene amount of meat.




Back home here's a picture of Marv and I along with his son Jeremy and Ashley. We had a fun everning out drinking margaritas!
This is a couple of picture from our wine tasting excursion in Temecula. The occasion was to celebrate with our friend Mary that retired from her job. It was a fun day sampling too much wine and enjoying the great weather.





Thank you to everyone that sponsored me in the Walk With the Animals. Keely was my walking partner (Mark's dog) and here's another picture of her celebrating St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, that is my little Kelli who is pregnant and will be having a boy the end of May. She is just now turning 18 and all grown up.

Okay, that's about it for the update. I'm leaving for China on April 15th so will have some pictures posted when I'm traveling.
