We started to relax after the 'mission' of our trip was done. We were all on our own for supper and then met and took a riverboat tour of San Antonio. Shopping was fun. The Alamo was toured. Lots of old arcitecture all over and it was beautiful to see. We left San Antonio at noon on Thursday and arrived in Fredricksburg in late afternoon. We were all great tourists-left alot of money in exchange for stuff which we probably don't need! Typical huh? Almost all of us ate supper at Hondos' and stayed around for some music and entertainment, some of which was us, I'm sure, for the locals! We left Fredricksburg at seven bells in the a.m. and drove to Oklahoma City. We stopped at Cattletown again, for shopping, as nothing had been open on Tuesday we went to eat at the Cattlemans. We checked into the hotel and went to eat.After eating we went back to the OK City Memorial to see it at night. Beautiful. Quiet. Peaceful. Sad. Back to the hotel as the wheels were going to be moving at seven a.m. again. Today will be a long day of driving with a few short breaks for leg stretching. Tonight will be spent in Des Moines Iowa.
SOME MORE STORIES FROM THE QUILTERS!
Fort Hood- We would sign their name on a quilt that they picked out and present it to them. It was one soldiers birthday ans so we all sang happy birthday to him. A very happy man left the room! We took a group picture out by the bus. Many hugs were given to us and we to them!
Fort Sam- On our tour of the Fischer House there was a lady soldier sitting alone.I asked her if she would like a quilt. I had two in my arms, one was red, white and blue and the other had deer in the woods on it which she took right away with a pleased and surprized expression. She thanked me. And I gave her a hug and said thank you from me for her service.
I am enjoying the company and the friendship of the quilters on this trip! Blessings to all! Rita
