Two-Steppin it to Texas

I am sure you have all heard about the minute men lining the Tex-Mex border. I think Gramma took the call to arms a little too seriously!
But let me digress. For our Mother's birthday, christmas, mothers day, anniversary, arbor day and easter, til 2010, my sister and I decided to take her to see her niece in Bourne, Texas. Niece, Pat and her husband Frank, have a ranch in Bourne, and at a party this past summer after she had had 4 glasses of wine, she meaning Pat said of course we could come! I am just kidding, we were warmly welcomed..
We boarded our flight, and for the flight down I had gotten mother scratch off's so she had something to keep her busy, it was a long flight, and I did not want her running up and down the aisles. also we had befriended the stewards, and stewardess's as we were sitting in the first row, they found out how old gramma was, announced it over the loud speaker, and told everyone on board she was going to San Antonio for the first time. My sister added that it was her birthday, and that way we got extra snacks! The plane errupted with applause and just about everyone stopped by and wished her Happy Birthday! It was cute, even though it was a fib
Our arrival into San Antonio, was uneventful, smooth flight and we were greeted by glorious sunshine! We were picked up by Pat and Frank, and the ride to the ranch was another half hour. Upon our arrival, Pat had cooked us a scrumptous meal, labatts was cold, and Frank asked if I wanted to see the Family Blog???
So here is cousin Barb, Mom and Sue huddled in Frank's office reading about Jeff. Needless to say I brimmed with pride over our family blog!
Pat and Frank have a guest house on their property that holds visitors, tourists and family members. It was warm, cozy, filled with all the amenities of a five star hotel, and was just for my sissy and me! What a treat, we giggled and laughed and sat on the porch and watched the humming birds, the cows grazing and the Texas sunset!
Frank and Pat were wonderful tour guides! I am sure we saw the best that San Antonio and Bourne had to offer! From the riverwalk boat tour to PoPo's for chicken fried steak and gravy, that had over 2,000 plates on their walls!
I am having technical difficulties, and can not post all my pictures and they are shutting down the blog site at 9 for maintenance,
so I am going to post this, and continue with part two when they are done with the blog server.
Believe me the best is yet to come.... stay tuned
