We started the day with a trip to the historic town of Gruene in the Texas hill country. Fun, shopping, and entertainment awaited our arrival. We hit a few of the boutique shoppes and boosted the Texas economy up a bit.
Roger and Ras shopped for new hats.
Whiskers greeted us at the door of the store. Check her out--looks like she has a moustache. That is one lazy cat.
Ran into more Motor Maids--Kathy Sanders, Joann Graff, and Valerie. I understand they needed a little help with directions and met a possible future Motor Maid, Laura Lopez, who led them in.
The Gristmill is considered one of Texas's finest restaurants. It was once the boiler room of an 1878 cotton gin. A lovely setting overlooking the Guadalupe River. You can't beat the view and the prices aren't bad either. Food was excellent. With lunch behind us it's time to go dancing.
Gruene Hall is the oldest continuous operating dance hall and most famous in the state of Texas. Not much has changed since the hall first opened. There are over 6,000 square feet and a pitched tin roof. It has flaps that open on the sides for open air dancing and a bar in the front.
We ended the trip with a hat parade. Time for the girls to take a chill pill and get ready for the Motor Maids business meeting in the morning. Election of officers on the agenda for tomorrow. I wish each of them good luck.
