Since our last entry we have had a quick trip to Canada and now have all of our goods and chattles back in San Antonio. It was great to spend time with our dear Canadian friends and we plan to go back to Canada for Christmas this year. When we returned to San Antonio our grass was 6 inches tall and after a good mow looked very good. At the moment the grass grows as you look at it.
Even our back yard is taking shape.
Our herbs are flourshing.
As we no longer needed our 4WD we decided to sell it for a smaller and more economical car. When the time came to sell it we could not part with it.
We are now a 2 car family and with Dennis' truck parked in the driveway we now qualify as Texans as most of the neighbours have at least 3 cars sitting in their diveways. This car is a much more comfortable ride.
We have a number of small creatures who come to visit each day and really enjoy munching on nuts.
We were delighted that our friends Trish and Murray were able to spend a few days with us. They were on their way to Kansas to pick up their motor home and to continue their sightseeing of America. They have been coming back to the USA for 6 years now and remain as enthuastic as ever about their adventures. We took the opportunity to have an 'at home' and Dennis was able to join us.

We also had the opportunity to catch up with Randy and Wanda Reynolds. Many will remember them as they were posted to Canberra for 3 years. Wanda's dad Ed joined us as did Jannette Curry, a friend who is best know for shooting rattlessnakes who encroach on her property.
On the final night of Trish and Murray's visit we had dinner at Dennis' home and the best of 2 worlds can be seen in the photo below. Penfolds from OZ and 'very,very hot sauce' from Tx.
We had a great time with our friends and hope to see more of you come for a visit. We have been back in San Antonio for 6 months and the time is flying so if you want a fun holiday come for a visit as you are all welcome.
Best wishes,
Bev and Ross
We sure had a great visit to your lovely home in San Antonio. Met your friends, ate great food, re-visited the Alamo and River Walk and just enjoyed catching up with good friends. Thanks for your fabulous hospitality.
