Monday, March 2 – Busy Day at the Fort

 

We slept very good last night. It is so quiet and peaceful here. It was cold went we awoke about 37 degrees.

Jesse walked with Jerry on the trails around the old theater, and where the German POW camp was during WW2, mostly wooded areas now.

I took a shower and got cleaned up then we sat and visited for a while this morning.

Kit and Jerry told us of the days when they road their bikes hundreds of miles and camped out in tents. I would not even attempt to do something like that. Jerry would like to ride his bike across country, but Kit says “no” to driving the motor home for him to rest in each night.

After our visit we went in the rig for Jesse to take a shower and Kit needed to do the same. I wrote the journal while Jerry did his Wii fit.

When we were finished with that we went over to the neighbors to say hello and see if they needed any help getting things ready.

We were all going over for lunch at 1:00. It was a pot luck feast for the carving club which Jerry belongs to. They served brisket, potato salad, baked beans, a bean salad, relish tray and home baked rolls. There was several desserts that included brownies, peach cobbler and a cherry cream cheese pie.

Everything was delicious and I cleaned my plate. Afterwards Kit and I took the golf cart and rode through some trails around the fort. It was very interesting. While the guys stayed there with the Direct TV guy to have Jerry’s second satellite station set up. Now they have service to there outside TV.

Afterwards we took a ride to the convenience store to get a fountain drink and to show us around the town of Brackettville.

We came back and sat outside until it was too chilly. We went to our own rigs for the night.

It was a full day and we are enjoying our time getting to know Kit and Jerry better.

Tomorrow we will be going to the Alamo movie site until then

Hugs to all
