Happy Fiesta

Alex slept through the night (3 in a row) but did have a seizure this AM at 8:40. So I suppose we will stay home and then if he is feeling better we will go watch some trains and the planes this afternoon.

Various pollens seem rather high. I hope this is not the start of six more days of seizures.

San Antonio kicks off it annual Fiesta Week today. Alex's sister Megan plans to come down for the 'Oyster Bake'

Hey, who was the first person that said, 'Let's crack open this rock and see if there is something inside we can eat."

I think Megan comes done for the music and the crowds!!


and Alex's Mom is off to the Southwestcraft Center.

For our out of town guests, here are some pictures from last year's Fiesta.


One night we have a River Parade!


On another we have Old Night in San Antonio. The ladies have very colorful outfits.


Then we have the Battle of Flowers parade. Schools, Banks and many other places close for that Friday.


There are about a dozen Princesses in colorful gowns. All along the parade route people shout, "Show us your shoes!" Because under those gowns, most have on tennis sneakers.


Then on the last night we have the biggest Nighttime Parade in the US. The Flambeau Parade. Viva San Antonio!



I got to play bridge last night over at Dad's. Since Mom's passing I have been Dad's bridge partner. 12 of us play once a month. Dad was a good host!
