My two memories: when asking locals "where is the Alamo?" they replied "behind Joskes: (dept. store!) About the river walk, seems that they drain it once a year in January to clean out all the junk. Yup, we were there. Still, a very fun city!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663898256529906642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274408203001380806.post-68319103337010249442011-03-03T22:53:19.513-05:002011-03-03T22:53:19.513-05:00Ooo, you went to Gruene..one of my favorite places...Ooo, you went to Gruene..one of my favorite places.

Looks like you had a great time.<br /><br />Several commenters have asked about the quilt on the bed....I'm interested, too. Is it the pinwheel quilt that you did BEFORE the pinwheel quilt along that you referenced everyone to but said the quilt along pinwheel tutorial would be different than that one? LOL!! If you followed that you're a good decoder! <br />Seriously, where could we find that original pattern like the one on the bed?Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843672826198310903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274408203001380806.post-26522838667243025992011-03-02T22:30:50.238-05:002011-03-02T22:30:50.238-05:00I live in SA at the moment.
