Yesterday we asked the kids/grands what they wanted to do and learned that they wanted to visit and shop in Fredericksburg and then go on to Llano to Cooper's for a barbecue lunch. They had a good time wandering through the many stores, and Tim, James and I frequented the many benches while the ladies shopped. At one point we got so good at this activity that when Tim said, "Assume the position," James and I did not hesitate and sat on a convenient bench. Finally the ladies tired of their shopping, and we were all treated to ice cream, which held off the hunger pains until we had driven the forty miles north to Llano.
We sampled most of the barbecue available and also enjoyed the beans, potato salad and kohl slaw. Satiated, we drove back to Kerrville and left the family to an afternoon swim and snooze. We came home to give Max a break and me a short snooze and finally returned to celebrate James's fifteenth birthday with chocolate cake and more ice cream.
Today this family heads south for a few days with friends and then they fly on the 23rd to Costa Rica. Eight months there is a long time, and we will miss them unless we manage to visit while they are there. That would be fun. Happy travels.
