Finally Found My Mom's Cemetery!!

Well after more than one attempt of driving down numerous gravel roads near and in the forest and the roads are not marked with street signs, we finally found the church and cemetery where my mother was buried 15 years ago.

Derek, Cecile's Dad, and I walked around the area and took in the sights. Derek was not even born and Kristian was only 4 or 5 at the time of her death. Derek did have a sweet moment when he took a flower and without knowing I was watching placed it on top of her grave stone...sweet sight for sure.

I now have the directions and I will bring Kristian out here the next time we can get to Louisiana.

Cecile and I went to San Antonio

Cecile and I needed a break from all the madness in Austin, so we decided to spend a day and night in San Antonio. We stayed at the Marriot at the Plaza which was right across the street from Hemisphere Park. It was packed on the riverwalk because it was the same night as the opening night of Dallas Cowboys training camp!!

We had a good day hanging around and doing way too much shopping. Cecile found a store next to the rivercenter mall that had a ton of items with fleur de lis's on them...she was in heaven!!
