Memorial Day on the Riverwalk

The San Antonio Riverwalk has expanded! Memorial Day turned out to be a beautiful day. We had some rain earlier that weekend and weren't sure whether the sun would stay out or not. Mom had been talking about going down on the river - she used to take anyone who came to visit downtown and to the Riverwalk, so we decided it would be a great day to venture out and see what was going on...

They have done a beautiful job in making this new expansion inviting! Next weekend will be the grand opening and the river taxi's will be taking people on tours. This is close to the Pearl Brewery.

These fish are under the bridge where the new part of the Riverwalk begins. They are lite up at night and are supposed to be very beautiful. Hard to tell in the middle of the day!

In case you have forgotten or never seen it - this is the Alamo. Tons of tourists visit it everyday.

Mother is really happier than she looks here!

That's better... She loves the flowers...

David and I enjoyed the day on the Riverwalk and the time with Mom.

Mother's Day Celebrations

I have the best kids in the world. No kidding! Mother's Day is always special, but this year it was extraordinary. It started on Friday night when Stephanie invited us over for dinner and to celebrate Mother's Day. She and Joey had a full schedule on Sunday, with being on the worship team at their church and then celebrating Mother's Day with Joey's mom and grandmother. And Stephanie is the mom of two of my wonderful grandchildren... so she needed some Mother's Day time as well.



This suited me just fine! I got some much wanted one-on-one time with my favorite daughter and grandkids!

See how beautiful my daughter has turned out? She is my pride and joy and a wonderful mother. I couldn't be prouder! I love you Stephanie. They presented me with a gift certificate for an hour massage... can't wait to get that booked!

On Sunday morning, David and I went to Sterling House to have a Mother's Day breakfast with my mom. All the residents had invited their special guests and we were excited to get to spend this time with mom. The breakfast was wonderful!

After breakfast, David and I took mom with us to visit River City Community Church. Jason and Allison were going to meet us there, so I got to spend some time with Jason & with Allison who is the mother of my other two wonderful grandkids!
Jason & Allison presented mom and me with beautiful long stem roses and they gave mom some great smelling lotions and body washes. They gave me a trip to the Spa! Now how great is that??? A massage AND a trip to the Spa!
