San Antonio, boots, food

We decided to go to Boerne which is a small town about half way between here and San Antonio to first visit Anceria RV and check out updating our television satellite system. They explained why they could not do it, and then we visited the parts department and discovered that we could get some little needed parts for our motor home. So we were partly successful in our errand. We also visited a western store there, and I tried on some boots, but they were too big. Foxy thought that we should continue on to San Antonio since we had come half the distance, and so we drove on to the center part of that city to visit an area called the Quarry, which has lots of upscale shops, a golf course and apartments. We tried a new place for lunch The Brick Oven Grille and talked with several men also in line waiting to buy lunch. These men are in the army in the medical corps and will soon re-deploy to the Middle East again. They were delightful and made us feel that this country is in good hands with our military.

Lunch consisted of a Calzone for me and tortilla soup for Foxy. We also visited a western store at the Quarry, but the boot I was looking for was not in stock. On the way home we stopped at another shopping center, The Rim, at a final western store but had no better luck there. Finally we arrived home about 3 pm to discover that Max had eaten Foxy's phone charger. He got yelled at and imprisoned in his crate and only let out for food and bathroom breaks. He knew he was in trouble.

If you read Foxy's blog you can learn all about dinner at Ron and Julie's RV with friend Byron. I have been calling us the Fabulous Five or Fearless Friendly Five or some such combination since we have all become such fast friends. Ron and Byron are both retired farmers from the Dakotas and Minnesota respectively. So they have much in common, as they also both drive or ride motorcycles. Conversation flowed, and the dinner was superb. What a treat to get to know these friends. Happy travels. PS - Max is partly out of the doghouse today but has quite a ways to go to get back into Foxy's good graces. I was able to repair her phone charger.
