Halloween in Boerne!

We've been keeping busy in Boerne.  We've been visiting John and Gloria in the evenings.  Gloria has been making fabulous dinners for us and we've played a few card games of Phase 10!  John has won the most game so is still the big winner so far!

We also met a couple in the campground, John and Ramola, and had a glass of wine with them one evening.

Friday John was off and took us down to San Antonio at the south end of the River Walk to the Guenther House, my sweet cream pancake provider!  Carl Guenther was the founder of the Pioneer Flour Mills and built an elegant home next to the mill in 1859.  The home has been restored and houses the River Mill Store, a small museum, a restaurant and has retained the original parlor.

The home is very pretty, right on the river and the store has many fun things as well as sweet cream pancakes, waffles, ice cream, biscuits, gravy and more.  We also had a delicious lunch on the veranda.  Ted had champagne gravy chicken enchiladas, I had a sweet cream waffle and John had breakfast tacos.  We stocked up on sweet cream pancake mix!

Yesterday  we did some Costco/Sam Club shopping with John and Gloria and then went to the "Haunted Theatre".  Their granddaughter, Haley, is a freshman in high school and is in drama.  The drama department put on a haunting!  It was pretty scary and lots of fun.  The kids did a great job and it was a terrific set.

After our big scare, we went to Willy's for dinner.  They had a guy singing and playing guitar.   It's a very casual place, with a beer bottle chandelier!  John has been wanting to try the "ultimate sampler" but you definitely need a group to be able to eat it all!

Today is halloween and we are going to John and Gloria's for dinner!  Her two younger grandkids, Jack and Olivia, will be coming over for his birthday and for halloween.
