It was the best of times…

It was the WURST of times…which is a good thing! This past weekend, my parents came to visit us. We took them to New Braunfels for Wurstfest! It was like a celebration of silly hats, lederhosen, yummy food (Rich with a Wurst-ka-Bob and me with a turkey leg) and accordion music.
And then we went to the most beautiful land of outlets in San Marcos. It was so magical, I would not be surprised if people got married there!
The first night my parents were here, we went out to dinner at Bess Bistro and I loved everything about it. I had been wanting to try it – I was told it was owned by Sandra Bullock! I had a delicious chopped cobb salad and…SPAETZEL! (which I say with an additional “ie” on the end) Rich can take me there anytime he wants to.
On Hallowe’en, my mom made us a mini Thanksgiving dinner with a chicken because Randalls (still my favorite grocery mart) did not have a lil turkey – gobble! Then, we went on a boat ride at dusk to watch the bats fly out from under the bridge – can you see them? Underneath the South Congress bridge is the biggest urban bat colony! And every night they fly away to go huntin for bugs. It was a very cool sight and there were so many of them that it looked like smoke in the night sky.
Oh, and my mom brought down some St. Nick’s day presents for me and Rich! They are sitting in the coat closet…a very trusting move for someone who knows what a peeker I am.
Speaking of Christmas. I have submitted my first draft of my list. Rich is still working on his…
Thanks for coming to visit! We had lots of fun! xoxo
