o comes in and out of the community. Also, they love to celebrate any holiday, especially the 4th by hosting a 4th of July Parade and oh so yummy pot-luck lunch at the park. Our resident grandparents, Carl & Maxine invited us to ride with them in the parade on their golf-cart, equipped with red, white & blue decorations of course and we were happy to oblige. Just a little background on Carl & Maxine....Carl is the essence of an old country boy, in his seventies who loves to mow his pasture with his tractor and fix up old jeeps. Maxine is a modern day Cinderella. I swear she has befriended every animal within a mile radius. She has opened her backyard as a safe haven for several birds, twin fawns, and even a jack rabbit, she has named Jenny. She can walk out her back door and call, "Jenny" and hopping around the corner will be Jenny, anxiously awaiting her dinner of grapes. Anyways, the parade was a success....we honked horns and waived to all of the animals that we saw, as there was no one watching because we were all in the parade! It was fun to meet some of the other families or couples living here and not to mention the pot-luck lunch....don't you just love pot-luck! I do as I am always guaranteed a little mac&cheese!
Saturday evening, my parents came down for a little R&R. We drove over to Fredericksburg for dinner at August E's where my dad thought he was ordering some wine and discovered sake. We had a great time over a great meal! On our way home, we stopped at Lukenbach for a little boot-skootin on an old slick dance floor! It was such a pretty night!
Sunday we were off to church early to help set up Sprinkles. We have thus far, learned how to set-up and tear-down a pack-n-play, swings, and a couple of other baby things for which I do not know the name. It has been a great experience and we have met some really nice people.
Hope you all had an equally exciting 4th!
