We took Mom up to Fredericksburg today. I think she had a good time, at least she said she did. The trip wasn't bad. There wasn't very much traffic and we went over 70 most of the way.
We got there a little after 10 and it was already crowded. We lucked out and got a parking spot on main just by the courthouse. The off street parking had already half filled. We walked up and down main. Most of the time Ellen would go in with Mom and I would stay outside with the dog. Mom bought presents for everyone and we bought some things, too. We got presents, earrings, and a new cowhide. The cowhide is great.
Ellen asked at one of the stores and they told us of a restaurant that would let the dog sit on the patio. So we ate there. It was mainly Tex-Mex, and very good. Our waiter was one of the best wait persons we've had in a very long time. They even brought a bowl of ice water for Lucy.
Lucy was a very good girl the whole day.
When we got home I logged on ebay. It was a big disappointment. I missed the end of one of the auctions I was most interested in. The item sold at less than I would have bid on it. Damn. There were some other things that came up in the evening. One went for way more than I was willing to pay. The others I just decided I didn't want.
I cut notches in the viaduct pillars to mount the Kato track. I also modified two Piers to serve as bases for the two pillars that have to be higher. I'm not going to shorten the others until I go out and check everything on the layout.
We have to get up tomorrow and go to church.
