Heading for Home

We have had a terrific time the past two weekends seeing our family in St. Louis and Keller. The grand kids are growing like weeds and are much more animated than at our last visit. We love them all and look forward to seeing everyone at Thanksgiving at our home.

We reluctantly but eagerly head for home today. We are anxious to see the completed deck, new doors, and just to be in our lovely home for a while. The drive is only about 90 minutes so we will leave when Tippy returns from Mass this morning.

We spent time with David’s family yesterday which included a trip to a new hotel called the Gaylord Texan. It was quite impressive inside with a giant domed ceiling, a replica of San Antonio’s Riverwalk, and several restaurants, bars, and shops on the main level. The rooms are all on the perimeter and one side features a replica of The Alamo. There was an enormous amount of plants, flowers, and trees all indigenous to Texas. I am sure it would have been spectacular at night with the dome lights and all of the planting lights turned on.

David had to attend a church meeting so he left right from the hotel and Tippy and I returned to the house with Rachel and assisted her in getting the kids ready for bed before we departed for home.

Enjoy the pictures. We will do another post after we get home. I know you want to see the deck so stay tuned and I will get some pics next week. Be safe.
