It has rained since Saturday, off and on. It was also windy and cool. Today was a tad warmer but still rainy. We knew our 2 1/2 pound box of mail would be delivered today so we did not want to leave town. We went downtown for lunch and for a walk in the rain. We saw some really cute shops and enjoyed the friendly people inside. Yesterday after lunch we stopped at a huge H.E.B. grocery store. I thought maybe that was the initials of the man who started the store. Hope, it stands for Here Everything's Better. And trust me, it is. I think Jerry was more stunned at what was in that store than I was. Nothing but big wide rows of food, a wonderful meat counter and a fish display with everything labeled exactly as required which seldom happens. But the produce is what was so wonderful. The fruit and veggies were displayed sort of like a farmer's market. So, while we were filling bags we did not feel like we were in a store. It was great. We are going to try to get to Johnson City tomorrow in between rains. Tomorrow night is supposed to be rough, so we want to be home before that hits. I forgot to tell you that this area has been in such a drought the weather reports on TV include a report on the level of the aquifer. Can you imagine? Even after all this rain the level dropped a foot today. Lack of water is a very serious issue here. Maybe tomorrow's rain will help them out. I wanted to include a picture of Fredericksburg's official Christmas tree because, well, because....................it's that time of year!
