We arrived in Schlenburg Texas on Sunday afternoon and Mary Jane and Larry Phillips arrived on Monday afternoon. We did a short ride around the area, found a wonderful place to buy pecans of all flavors, such as salted, cinnamon, Carmel, etc. After a little dinner at Franks restaurant we returned to their hotel to play games of Farkel and a new game with marbles, which I still dont know the name of.
Tuesday we did the tour of The Painted Churches, which is what is popular in the area.
There are 6 churches to see, 4 of which are Catholic, 1 Methodist and 1 Lutheran. They are amazing. I will have to say the 4 Catholic are the most impressive. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the stained glass windows are absolutely beautiful.
After a little down time we went to dinner in LaGrange Tx which is the home of the famous "Chicken Ranch" on which the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" as based.
Wednesday morning Larry and I heading on to south Texas and arrived in Mission Tx about 3pm and got set up for the next 2 weeks. Shirley and Dallas Gronefeld are here from Missouri along with other friends we have met over the years.
The Matheny, Mason and Flo and Jerry and Kenny are over in Harlingen so we are going over this afternoon to celebrate Linda Matheny's birthday.
