We got up at 7:45, did the pet stuff and got ready to leave. John and Melissa showed up at 8:30. We got in the truck and went to Austin Java for breakfast. It was pretty good. They had breakfast tacos, Ellen had eggs benedict, and I had pancakes. After that we headed for Fredericksburg.
I rained the whole way there. The truck drove fine though. There was never a time it felt unstable. I missed the turnoff to the show. John and I were looking at something on the other side of the street. We ended up driving into town, turning around, and driving 6 miles back out. It was OK.
We spent several hours walking around the market. I bought a couple of pieces of junk for the yard. Ellen bought soap and some hair clips. Melissa bought some jalapeno corers and something else. John didn't by anything. We left after 2 to go to town for lunch.
We parked near the jewelry store. We stopped there on the way to lunch. It turned out to be a long stop. We spent a lot of time looking at jewels and jewelry. Melissa found a druzy pendant she liked, but it was in silver which tarnishes. I had the jeweler price it out in 14K white. It was $500 more. I said I'd pay for half of it. The jeweler is making it up right now.
After that we went to the BBQ place for a really late lunch. It was great. John and Melissa said they really liked it. After that we stopped at the cookie place for cookies for later. We also stopped at the sauce place. We bought prickly pear jelly and chow chow. John bought some spread he really liked.
It rained all the way back home also. We didn't get home until after 6. All the pets got dinner. John and Melissa came over and we talked and surfed for awhile. Then they went home.
The rest of the evening was surfing and TV.
