Where is it? :)

[mylife]

San Antonio on the river walk. ☺

[mylife]

I have been to San Antone many times and never realized it was there.

[luvie]

Very cool. With all the times I’ve been there, I don’t know how I missed that!

I think we need a little side trip to San Antonio next June...maybe to Shilo’s! :) Don’t you?

Aloha and good afternoon, Hawaii...((HUGS))

Any sun?

We had a couple inches of snow. Probably more tonight.

[mylife]

It is the only VFW I have seen that is open to public use.

It could be a good place to BBQ on the river after a a Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot.

[mylife]

I think it’s only about 35 mi from Wimberly ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[mylife]

Shilo’s has better beer ;)

Spaten Optimator

[AZamericonnie]

Sounds like a good planning suggestion!

Wish it didn’t take soooo long to drive that way for the shoots.:(

I could live in a house that looks like that.

Porch swing NOT optional. Must have! :)

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha again Night Owl! ((HUGS))

Half sun and half drizzle (which is called Hilo sunshine).

Out with my son yesterday for a little target practice and chats; it's amazing how many things one can talk about on an outing like that.
