Sunday, October 14, 2012, Spring Branch,
It rained quite a bit during the night but the sky was clear by the time we were drinking our coffee. The water pressure has been low since we got here. Before Gerri took her shower I went out and checked the hose for kinks or obstructions. There seems to be plenty of pressure at the spigot and hose but not at the faucets inside. Gerri had to use the water pump to get adequate pressure for her shower. By 10 AM it was getting warm enough inside to justify using the air conditioners. I don't know if there is a problem with the units or it's the humidity, but the air conditioning units never seem to come on at the set temperature or once they are running it seems they don't go off at the set temperature. This has always been a problem but it seems worse this trip.

Ann Conner and Gerri

In the early afternoon we drove to Paul and Ann's. We went to an area near Johnson City to have lunch at a winery that was featuring BBQ. It turns out the food was served yesterday. So for lunch we went in to Fredericksburg. And had a late lunch at the Fredericksburg Bed, Brewery and Eating Establishment. We had huge juicy hamburgers with cheese, fried jalapenos, lettuce, onion and tomato on it and Onion rings on the side.

The burger really is bigger than it looks

The drive back to Paul and Ann's was like driving almost anywhere in Texas, there is always road kill. Besides the normal small animals and deer we saw a feral hog. But, we really enjoyed the drive in Hill Country as all the pastures were green with grass from the extra rain here lately.
We were invited in but my leg was beginning to bother me so we begged off and went back to the coach. I lay in bed for a half hour or so with my leg elevated and with ice packs.
At eight we tuned in to worship services over the internet from Oakey Boulevard.
We called it an early evening after some computer and TV time.

I have some errands to run in San Antonio relating to closing some of my mother's accounts. Ann is going to check with her doctor tomorrow and see if he can, or recommend someone, aspirate the liquid from my knee.
