49Th Annual Greek Funstival

Last year’s event at St. Sophia’s Greek Orthodox Church was so much fun, we could not wait to go back this year. The children were just as precious and we recognized some of them. I talked to one of the older boys and he told me that they practice every Sunday. You can tell.It was

Goodwill Hunting

The last two week-ends we have gone thrift store shopping. We started out in Southtown in down town San Antonio and last week-end had good luck at the Texas Thrift Store.

 This was back in 1985. A record snowfall of 13.5 inches was recorded. Many parts of South central Texas were shut down from January 11th through the 13th. Our business in downtown San Antonio was closed, and we made the best of it. We built a snow fort with our neighbors David and Susan and

  A visit to San Antonio would not be complete without a dinner at Rosario’s restaurant. I have just been commissioned to paint a series of San Antonio’s finest attractions and Rosario’s is first on my list.
