AustinTX

We stayed overnight in Stonewall, TX at a winery called Blumont. There were many vineyards, one after another, in that area. So many you can take a bus tour and stop for a tasting at each one.

We didn’t go there to do that lol. We visited my dear friends Margo and Davey, married 40 years and lived in their house for 22. Margo and I go west back to 1975, we worked together and had babies in 1976. We had the perfect day with them, enjoying a chance to reconnect, feasting on first Margo’s banana bread (😋) and later on a Mexican spread. Their daughter Stephanie and two of her handsome sons came by and we got to meet and be charmed by Lily, their daughter’s child that they have adopted and are raising. The tragedy of addiction touches so many families in this country. Lily’s mom overdosed a few years ago, after trying to get sober time and again but sadly she could not stay sober.

I brought some quilts and gifted several of them.

Margo and Davey have a beautiful home but the upkeep is starting to be a burden. They would like to downsize and move to St. Augustine, FL. Vic and I can’t wait for that to happen! We would love to spend more time with everyone, we love the whole family.

We left Stonewall TX this morning about 8 am and now have set up in an RV park ($25/night) with a nice dog park, just for one night (Fort Stockton, TX). Tomorrow we go to Alamogordo, NM.
