IS ANYBODY GOIN' TO SAN ANTONE....






Like the song says.. Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone? If you are ever near San Antonio, Texas.. you just have to go there. There is so much to do and see.. so much history, like The Alamo. As you walk it's halls and gardens, let your mind and imagination wander and you soon will realize what it must have been like when it was made famous so long ago.

The Alamo is just the start. From there the River Walk is a MUST see! It is one of the most beautiful setting you will probably ever see. The pictures I posted that Ginnie and I took while visiting there are beautiful... But, they do not do it justice! You have to see it first hand and for yourselves.

Don't' let the second part of the name "Walk" scare you off. It is big and you can walk it all, but there are river boat taxi's that will pick you up and drop you off all along the way. And they do this for a nominal fee. The many business, shoppes etc. are built on and in the water... many have streams running through them. It is beauty at it's best.

Yes.. do yourself a favor and check it out.. you won't regret it!! As a matter of fact, we intend to go back again this winter while we are in Texas.

CAMPFIRE BEEF ROAST AND FRESH GRILLED SWEET CORN






In an earlier post I explained how to cook a beef roast over an open fire on wet paper towels and a salt bed. We did another one a couple of days ago. This time I have some pictures of the roast cut up and ready to serve.. pink and juicy in the middle... you can't tell it from prime rib! Some fresh picked sweetcorn on the grill and a couple of Bud Lights... you can't beat it with a stick! Here are some pictures of us and our friends Bob and Sue showing you what the meaning of "ENJOY" means!
