Good morning. It’s Friday, September 22nd and I’m writing to you from the back patio of our rented house in Fredericksburg. It is currently 80 degrees and there is a beautiful breeze blowing through. However, the sun will be getting higher and the temperature is going to hit 95 by mid day. 

This has been an eventful week. It was just eight days ago that Kate was put in the hospital and we did not know if she was going to require surgery or not. Between then and Monday she was given massive amounts of antibiotics and is still taking some by pill now. However, surgery for the present time has been put on hold. She got to feeling much better and we took her home on Monday afternoon. We were determined to make this vacation happen although we have shortened it by a week. Tuesday we decided to give travel a test try and headed out and stopped in Metropolis  Illinois for the night. She handled that well so we took off of Texarkana, Arkansas and spent the night. Yesterday morning we headed on down to Fredericksburg and arrived around 1700 last evening. 

The house we have rented is a neat place; very spacious and very clean. Today Kate is feeling a bit nauseous and we are just sitting around at the house and waiting for Heather and Steph and hubbies to arrive this afternoon. In the meantime, I’m going to make a Walmart run. It is only about three blocks away. I need to pick up some simple stuff. 

There are some thing I want to see here in Fredericksburg, one of which is the Texas Rangers museum. And I need to check the local ads for good German restaurants.  

That catches you up. Have a wonderful day. Peace.
