Back from the Hills

We had a fine long weekend in the Hill Country, which is always good for the soul. It provides a bit of hope and perspective to someone whose hometown seems to have been transformed into a vast sea of suburbs almost overnight. It was great to see stars and empty roads and to breathe fresh air.

And, of course, it is always great to see my dear mammy down in Fredericksburg. Yessirree, it is most outstanding to pull up in the driveway and see the "Willkommen" sign. That means you have arrived.
